X-rays may not indicate the presence of a stress fracture in its early stages. A common symptom associated with a stress fracture is a dull, generalized pain that might be accompanied with swelling and tenderness in a specific spot. The pain and swelling may worsen with running, walking, standing or exercising.

Besides being the central hub for tours going anywhere in the country, Panama City is a fascinating tourist destination in itself. It is also Central America's most attractive Capital City and a curious blend of old Spain, modern America and the bazaar atmosphere of the East. Best known for the Panama Canal, this lively Latin American city also borders one of Central Americaâs richest rain forests.
