I suspect I have a metatarsal stress fracture of my lower 2nd metatarsal bone in my foot. Symptoms: sore between arch and the ball for a week but usually felt better after running, then intense pain a mile and half into a half marathon on Saturday then the pain eased up slightly, but still very much present for the remainder of the race (like a dummy I kept going). Minor swelling present since the race and hasn't totally gone away (by Tuesday) and every step hurts (no running possible).
I'm going to the orthopedist tomorrow for x-ray and diagnosis. If I'm correct and its a stress fracture how long will this keep me sidelined?
