I was running up stairs last week and on the last step I noticed a sharp pain on the top of my right foot. I thought it'd go away but it has been a week and the pain has only worsened. The top of my foot is swollen so it looks like a lump and the pain feels like it runs in the bone to my big toe. I fear it may be a stress fracture, though my friends think it's just a pulled muscle.
I'd really hate to go to the doctor, so has anybody else had this happen? Lately it hurts just to stand still. Thanks!
