A member asked:

The top of my left foot hurts. what are the symptoms of a stress fracture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several things: Pain that severe needs to be worked up by your doctor in person. He/she will listen to you, perform an examination and possibly order some tests to see what's wrong with you.
