Since doing some work in the garden on Friday I developed a severe pain in my right foot. On pressing about one inch directly back from the fourth toe, (the one beside my little toe), I receive a sharp pain. Pressing top or bottom of my foot is the same. Could this be just an inflamed joint or a possible stress fracture?
Histress fracture can be seen on x-ray, although clinically, even walking should be painful if its stress fracture. You may do hot fomentation, apply encircling strapping of 4th toe with 3rd toe for immobilization for a week and take Advil tabs after meals.it may subside-if doesn't then show orthopedic surgeon for x-ray also thanks
