The problem with green sticks and stress fractures is that you have to NOT continue to stress them. Your benched. Deal with it and try to heal. I lost two season's back to back because I wouldn't follow the doctor's orders.

Another key is going to be nutrition and in lots of athletics this is the first order of business. As soon as you begin to take the basic nutrients out of your workout (the body always takes from itself in order to send energy to the area that is being exercised), you begin to create stress on a cellular level. This keeps the area from healing correctly and keeps YOU on the bench.

Good luck.
