Not necessarily.Last night I heard it referred to as a "stress injury". That would seem to be not as bad as a stress fracture and would fit with re-evaluating in 7-10 days.
Agree with you though, could easily end up being more than a month. Especially if it's not just about pain tolerance and playing on it could actually make it worse.
Both can have different severities.
But, they are virtually the exact same thing.
Its just word play.
Check the definition of both.
Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone. They're caused by repetitive force, often from overuse — such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances. Stress fractures can also develop from normal use of a bone that's weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.
Bone Stress Injuries (BSI) are overuse injuries associated with repeated loading of bone by strenuous weight-bearing activities (such as running, jogging, marching) and inadequate recovery periods. BSI’s represent the failure of the skeleton bone to withstand repetitive loading, leading to structural fatigue, localized bone pain, and tenderness around the area.[1] Bone Stress Injuries (BSI) are commonly seen in avid runners, track and field athletes, endurance athletes, military recruits, gymnasts, dancers, but also among otherwise healthy people who have recently started the new or intensive physical activity.
