Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress fractures in the foot are very common as we continuously place force on them by walking, running, standing and jumping. In this the bone breaks but generally does not shift the position. One can walk as well as run but should not because it will delay healing and can lead to a compensatory injury altering your running form. Sooner it gets diagnosed and treated, athlete can return to normal activity faster.
