Can a seizure cause a stress fracture of the foot?
Yes, a seizure can potentially lead to a stress fracture of the foot. During a seizure, uncontrolled muscle contractions and movements can result in abnormal forces being applied to the bones, which may lead to fractures, including stress fractures. Additionally, if a person falls during a seizure, the impact can cause acute fractures. However, stress fractures typically develop over time due to repetitive stress rather than a single event.
A fracture that develops over time?
A stress fracture can occur suddenly or slowly and (whether sudden or slow) it can worsen over time. A stress fracture usually occurs on weight-bearing bones that are under "stress" of physical activity. For example, a tennis player might develop a stress fracture in the foot or ankle from strenuous activity during jumping, running, and rotation of the foot and ankle. However, some people have weaker bones, often due to decreased calcium intake or that calcium leeches out of bones (for example, steroids can pull calcium from teeth and bones). Also, older people often have less hardened bones due to loss of calcium. In these situations, it does not require much force or stress on a bone to develop a stress fracture or hairline fracture (hairline means a very thin break, similar to looking at a single head hair on an X-ray film).
Is it possible to have a hairline fracture in the foot for several years?
Yes, it is possible to have a hairline fracture in the foot that goes unnoticed for several years, especially if it does not cause significant pain or impairment. Such fractures, often called stress fractures, can heal improperly or remain asymptomatic, leading individuals to continue their normal activities without realizing the injury. However, lingering fractures may eventually lead to more severe issues if not addressed. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment if a fracture is suspected.
