I took it to mean a stress fracture from your body seizing up in terror - injure yourself without realizing it because you’re so scared

Unless you have a preexisting metabolic deficiency, it’s rare you could get a stress fracture in the l4 and l5 without some kind of high impact trauma. Those bones aren’t easily fractured by just you seizing up. Then again, I’m no doctor and my google research is limited so 🤷‍♂️. Just never heard of a ptsd fracture. Meh, ya learn something new everyday.
