A member asked:

Could i have a stress fracture? i am a competitive diver and last week pain on the top of my foot started and it is only swollen a little.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Poss stress fracture: There is a possibility of a stress fracture. Not common from diving, however noted with other recurrent activities such as running. A sports medicine or orthopedic doctor can evaluate by getting a full account of what you have been doing. Also a good exam will also help evaluate your foot. Unfortunately an X-ray may see the stress fracture. Ultrasound to further evaluate your foot is done by some.
