Thanks Mark. What really baffles me is that everything I am reading about femoral stress fractures is that it is in the hip region. My pain is about 2 inches above my knee cap, so I am wondering if I am all wrong about this. I cannot tell if it is bone or muscle, but I tried the fulcrum test and hop test and had no difficulty. As i sit right now, I am fine, with an ever so slight dull pain.
