Hello
I have studied your case and photo.
There can be possibility of mortans neuroma.
Clinical examination and further investigation like EMG NCV study and MRI will help you.
Many of my patients get relief with methylcobalamine and neurotropic medication like pregabalin you can take consulting your doctor.
For stress fracture diagnosis you can do x ray foot.
If x ray show s stress injury then plaster will help.

It does not hurt on the bottom of my foot and I do not have any shooting type pain. The pain is localized at the top of the foot and sometimes the ankle. It hurts worse when I stand on my toes or jump. Is this something I can just igore, or do I need to make an appt with my physician? thank you
