I got one in basic training but mine was around the groin area where leg inserts. Hard to explain but it hurt like a knife when id bring my leg forward. It seemed to literally keep my leg from moving forward. It hurt to walk. I just woke up on morning and could not put my right leg forward but when it did it was a stabbing pain in the bone.

I've only had stress fractures in my foot (toe box area), but I can tell you that I could NOT do anything. It hurt any time I put weight on it. No exceptions. At first, the fractures even hurt when I was sitting down.
Maybe what you have is muscular, since you are able to do basically everything else but run. From what I've read, running can cause a number of muscular issues in the hip and thigh areas.
That said, I'm not a doctor. Two weeks is a long time to wait! Have you thought about urgent care or trying another doctor? (If your finances and/or health insurance situation allows.)
