I AGREE...I AM AN X-RAY TECH, AND BY LAW WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TELL THE PATIENT WHAT IS ON WE SEE ON THE X-RAY, THAT IS THE RADIOLOGIST'S JOB. GET COPIES OF THE X-RAYS AND TAKE THEM TO AN ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR.. STRESS FRACTURES DON'T ALWAYS SHOW UP RIGHT AWAY, SOMETIMES A FEW WEEKS LATER ON A FOLLOW-UP XRAY BECAUSE OF THE "CALLOUS FORMATION", WHICH IS THE NEW BONE GROWTH FROM A HEALING FRACTURE.
