Last October, I had a stress fracture in my left femur. Dr. Emily Dodwell diagnosed me and helped me get back to racing as quickly as possible. Even though nothing was seen on the x-Rays, Dr. Dodwell had the HSS team do an MRI to see if the pain in my leg was bone related or muscular. Dr. Hollis Potter (radiology) found a stress fracture in the MRI. Dr. Dodwell put me on crutches, which helped me heal much faster and get back to running track sooner. Dr. Alana Serota (metabolic bone) helped me optimize my nutrition for running. Thanks to all their help, I won the Freshman 1600 at my conference championship meet and even competed at Nationals less than 5 months after the stress fracture.
