It's : It's hard to say exactly what the cause of your pain is. Based on your description, it sounds like either a tendonitis or a stress fracture. I would see a podiatrist or orthopedist, get an x-ray, and at that point, you'll know what's going on and can start treatment to get you better. Meanwhile, i'd stay off of it, just in case you have a little fracture in there. Good luck!

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
