What Causes Multiple Stress Fractures In A 14 Year Old?
My child has just been diagnosed with multiple stress fractures for the second time. She had multiple stress fractures last spring, followed the doctors orders for rest and then a slow return to exercise. She has absolutely kept her exercise to the level the doctor told her but she has multiple stress fractures again. Her doctors are investigated possible underlying causes. What are those things that could be causing multiple stress fractures for a 14 year old.

Hi
There may be calcium, vitaminD3 , magnesium deficiency...water supply deficient in fluorides also lead to bone weakening..
Excessive load over natural load bearing capacity could cause it,lastly, estrogen and testosterone hormone imbalance should be ruled out..rarely congenital bone conditions may be responsible
