Fracture: The most common injury causing these symptoms is a fracture of one or more of the bones in the fourth digit. In a long distance runner, this is a stress fracture and is not related to a specific injury but too much repeated stress. Back off running temporary. Let legs and feet rest for a few weeks without running. Then start running for short lengths based on amount of pain, and slowly build back.
