See doc: Sudden pain after a step may indicate breakage of the metal or a stress reaction in one of your bones. If it cam on over a short time unassociated with walking it could be a recurrence of infection. Sometimes means nothing just breaking up of scar tissue. See your doc sooner than latter if cannot put weight on foot or persists.
