Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
First option this may be a deep vein thrombosis , so a Doppler ultrasound may rule out this diagnsosis.
Second it may be a stress fracture of the foot bones which usually can not be seen on Xray , but only on CT scan or MRI or Shintigraphy
I wish you quick recovery.
