too many navicular stress fractures ?

I am an "almost" elite level runner but am being held back by a series of navicular stress fractures. I am female, 19 yrs old and try to train up to 90 minutes a day. I have seen several specialists and am looking around for any advice that might help me stopping the stress fractures.

DocPod 		Its hard to say much without a detailed history and examination, but make sure your dr's have covered the following:

1. Bone health. Have you had any bone density assessments? Are there any menstural problems that could be affecting bone health (this is actaully common in high level female runners)
2. Training errors. The usual 'too much too soon' issues
3. Mechanics. Make sure these have been carfully assessed and corrected where needed.
