Anyone ever gotten a stress fracture from an elliptical? I have been training on an elliptical for the winter months and now I feel pain. I feel it more when I squeeze my heel. Is this what is could be?

No, but when I had a stress fracture my ortho told me to avoid the elliptical because it is weight-bearing. I hope what you have isn't as SF, they suck.
