Xray: It is not uncommon to fracture the bones of the foot and not to be aware of it, see your pcp he most likely will order your xray.

Rest: Probably too much stress on your mid foot or arch causing a sprain. This can be treated with rest and proper arch support in your shoes. At times, these sprains take 6-8 weeks to feel better.
