Have you had a stress fracture?

I am sooo upset... that dumb hip and leg pain I have had for a while. Well I finally decided to be less stubborn and go see a ortho/sports med guy .. who thinks I have a stress fracture of the L hip. I have an MRI on Wednesday to confirm it. He did say if I dont have a stress fracture than I can run ...
I am a planner... and so I am trying to calm myself. If it is a fracture... how long will I be off? What exercises will they let me do? How much will it affect my training?
Can someone tell me a happy story ... like they had one and they were fine after a couple of weeks?

My cousin ran a half marathon with two stress fractures, but I don't recommend you follow in her footsteps! Thinking about you!0

I've never had one, but I'll be praying you don't have one, so you can keep running.0

Hey, at least you have an idea of what's wrong with you my lovely friend. I still can't flex my ankle, which is still all swollen as well as the top of my foot! I can point my big toe and that's it. I will have to call the ortho back by wednesday if there isn't significant improvement!!! GRRRR!!!0

I had a stress fracture of my foot this past spring. It was from running too far on my long run without having the base mileage to support it. That was a good lesson for me. I was out for 8 weeks.

Never had one, just the usual other niggles/hurts/creaks. I hope it heals swiftly, I know I freak out when I can't run and get grumpy
