Bone bruisee?: There are many possibilities that cannot be seen on conventional x-ray. C bone bruise, sprained ligaments, and even a hairline fx might not be seen. See your pcp if it doesn't improve. Take two Aleve (naproxen) twice daily to imporve pain.

Return to : Your doctor for follow up. Sometimes, a stress fracture won't show up on the initial x-rays. Also, you don;t have to have a fracture, there are plenty of soft tissue injuries that can cause nagging pain.
