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.
