From someone who improperly dealt with a stress fracture right above her ankle: Try to put up with the crutches as best you can. The more you don't let it heal now, the less it will totally heal. Mine still aches if I walk too much, and it's been two years.
yeah, i'm looking at keeping as little stress on the injury as i can.
happily, i can put my weight on my heel without stressing the part that's injured, so i'm hobbling around with a walking stick and occasionally the crutches, making sure i don't annoy it. and i'll be calling my podiatrist later today to set up an appt.
