Dr. Scott Keith answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Potential Problem.: Not having the ability to bear weight is not a good sign, especially involving the outside of the foot. Injury or not, the bone may be responsible. Swelling along with the pain is a more immediate concern. Either way, if it continues you should have it examined. Stress fractures have a sneaky way of appearing.
