How can you tell if you have a stress fracture in your foot?

A stress fracture is a small crack in the bone, usually caused by repetitive trauma to the injured site. It commonly occurs in athletes in sports like track & field, though it can happen to anyone, particularly if starting a new physical activity or routine. Stress fractures are usually very treatable, especially if caught early. So don't ignore the pain!

Ive been in constant pain at work for a couple weeks now. I don't run or excercise, im on my feet all day at work. I now have swelling and its very painful to walk. Pain subsides when i rest but i do get an aching pain when resting which comes and goes. Im seeing my doctor this week, im worried its a stress fracture which wouldnt be good for my line of work😞

I have gotten an ankle injury and I feel like it might be a hairline fracture or a lower grade sprain since there is minimal pain when walking but there is bruising and a small amount of swelling around the joint, how can I tell the difference?

I think I may have a stress fracture it’s a little bruised it’s hurts to touch it and it hurts a bit to walk on it I had a regular x-ray, and they did not see anything should I go get an MRI or just leave it? I’ve had pain for over a week.

definitely go get an MRI but go to sports medicine because they know what they are looking for.
