Diagnosis. 1  The evaluation of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases depends on specific medical history of the patient. Usually, some of the following tests are performed to evaluate the cause of lung disease: 2  Blood tests. 3  Breathing tests (pulmonary function tests) 4  Chest X-ray. 5  Chest CT scan.
Since stress fractures are usually caused by too much pressure on the metatarsal bone, we want to reduce pressure on that bone to prevent the stress fracture from occurring again. We can do this best with the use of custom orthotics that are prescribed specifically to reduce pressure on the injured portion of the foot.
Symptoms do not radiate forwards into the foot. Broken heel or fractured calcaneus bone is usually caused by falling or jumping from a height. It can also occur from road accidents or bike accidents. Stress fracture of the calcaneus is a hairline fracture of the calcaneus caused by over use.
