Dr. Marc Foucher answered

Specializes in Podiatry

See a Dr. ASAP: A broken fifth metatarsal may require surgery for optimum healing. See a board certified Podiatrist or Orthopaedist as soon as possible or go to your nearest emergency room.

I have foot pain on the lateral side of my foot around the fourth and fifth metatarsals when i'm pushing off. Walking barefoot or on flip flops relieves it while wearing sneakers aggravates it. Could it be some kind of neuroma or stress fracture?
