For the last 3 weeks, I have had soreness and pain on the bottom side of my 2nd metatarsal head. I don't know if it is metatarsalgia, stress fracture, or what. Could someone clarify the difference between metatarsalgia and a stress fracture?
It hasn't improved a whole lot in the past 3 weeks, but about 3 or 4 times (unfortunately) I went running. It felt like it didn't bother too bad, but it did a little when running. But I can always feel the pain if I press on it. I am resolving to wear shoes that take pressure off it and not go for any more runs until I get better. Can anyone offer input? Stress fracture, metatarsalgia? Thanks.
