please listen to what everyone is saying about stress fractures! i had one a couple years ago & i was so lucky i caught it early it was considered minor so i only had to take 2 months off & no back brace! for something "minor" it was still extremely painful & would advise staying off of it & maybe you'll luck out like i did.. i know others who tried to "push through it" & ended up with a much much longer time out & even surgery:( best of luck!
