Stress fracture can be caused by "Repitative force or from over use ."

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in bone. It is caused due to jumping and running for long distances. It is common in the weight bearing bones present in the lower leg as well as in foot.

It can be noticed with pain which gets worse with time. Or it may heal during rest. It is mostly seen when people newly start doing exercises, caring heavy objects for long distance. In osteoporosis, stress fractures could be noticed by doing regular activities.
