Saanvi Mehta, a 28-year-old software developer...
Saanvi Mehta, a 28-year-old software developer and avid runner, began experiencing persistent, sharp pain in her right shin that worsened with activity. Despite rest and over-the-counter pain relievers, the pain returned each time she tried to resume her training for a half-marathon. Her primary care physician, suspecting a stress fracture, referred her to an orthopedic specialist. The specialist recommended an Orthoscanogram, a detailed 3D bone scan, to get a definitive view of the bone's microstructure and confirm the diagnosis. During the procedure, Saanvi felt anxious but was reassured by the radiologist's calm explanation as she lay still for the painless scan. The Orthoscanogram clearly identified a developing tibial stress fracture. With this precise diagnosis, she followed a structured 6-week recovery plan involving a walking boot and physical therapy. Emotionally, Saanvi moved from frustration and fear of a long-term injury to relief and empowerment. Knowing the exact problem allowed her to commit fully to her recovery, and she successfully returned to running pain-free three months later.
