Chondroid lesion femoral neck 33F pain 2mos after running, Hip MRI, Please Help

I am attaching XRs shared by the orthopedist.
He said that she is a high mileage runner and clinically he suspects stress
fracture.
Since I didn’t see a cortical defect, fracture or periosteal edema, I
thought the subtroch bright PDFS signal was red marrow….but she’s been on
crutches, so maybe it is residual stress related marrow edema.
I’ve gotten responses that range from “enchondroma, no follow up”, to
“follow up imaging (surveillance)”, to get XR, or get CT.
I don’t think we see it well on XR, so I suggested we get CT to look at
the cortex…see if it’s scalloped / thinned. I’ll share those images when
I get them.
