It could but: One would expect it to hurt more when walking then sitting. A neuroma is another possibility given the location you describe. A foot doctor based on an exam should be able to make the diagnosis. Xrays could help make the diagnosis.

I am taking a break from running due to a possible stress fracture in a metatarsal in my left foot (maybe IV or V). If it is not a stress fracture, what else could cause pain about 3/4 of the way down the foot (outside of foot)?

I have foot pain on the lateral side of my foot around the fourth and fifth metatarsals when i'm pushing off. Walking barefoot or on flip flops relieves it while wearing sneakers aggravates it. Could it be some kind of neuroma or stress fracture?
