I think I check all the boxes: gets worse with activity, dull aching pain, swelling on top of foot, cannot do heel raises.
I'm afraid the toll of running against traffic on crowned roads has taken its toll. I'm an over-supinator (foot rolls outward) and forefoot striker when running, and the pain has gradually worsened over the last couple weeks to the point where it was difficult to walk at work on Monday. I have swelling at the tarsal-2nd/3rd metatarsal joint on my right foot with localized pain.
Ice brings temporary relief. sitting on the side of the pool yesterday with my foot in front of the water jet for 15 mins brought longer-lasting relief, as did 3-4 beers
Anyone else endured a stress fracture, and how did you treat it? Look like 6-8 weeks to heal. Luckily the gym has reopened.
I've ordered a low -cut walking boot and will make an appointment with a podiatrist tomorrow.
