You don't have a stress fracture, david45. If you have discomfort, walking will not make it worse. Grow up, toughen up, and follow Malmo's plan.

Because you have minor discomfort, and are being a baby about it.

Can I sue you if it does ends up being a stress fracture?

You aren't answering my question, I'll ask again.

LOL with what money, i.e. where is the money for to pay for all the costs and fees going to come from? Surely you know that the process isn't free

From my parents

You'd have to tell your parents about your online spamming first.

Metatarsal pad migh help

I wonder also if you have an over corrected probation

If so cut down your orthotic

Last thing could be torque rather than impact stress

If the toe is fractured you will likely not help it by running through

If on the edge consider taping 5 and 4 together

Outside chance you have capsulitis

Few more ideas but these are the most probable

Take care

How long does it take for capsulitis to heal?

hi david45. I thought the MRI said it was osteoarthritis in the navicular joint

😂😂😂😂

I'll bite. How about you go to professionals that deal with this daily instead of a forum with a mix of good, bad, and trolling advice (where it may be hard to differentiate which is which). Get a second podiatrist opinion, maybe more imaging, try a physio/PT. I'll speak to the last option. I've seen several instances of lingering pain after a stress reaction/fracture, or otherwise unknown lateral foot pain associated with the cuboid. Not saying that's your issue, but a sports or Ortho PT specialist could help differentiate (among other possibilities)
