Visit the doctor: This should be examined carefully. An x-ray is in order to rule out a stress fracture or possibly an exostosis (bony overgrowth) which could irritate soft tissue strutcures. You may have a tendonitis, and this should be examined by a podiatrist or foot and ankle orthopod.

See podiatrist: You need to be examined to make sure there is not a fracture or neuroma.
