| Metatarsal Stress Fracture Has anyone had experience with a metatarsal stress fracture? I am self diagnosising -- I have all the symptoms and it makes sense with my poor battered foot. I have been walking more than usual and the top of my foot is hurting so badly that my strongest pain meds doesn't touch it! I guess I'm going to have to break down and go to the doctor! |

| Go to the orthopedic surgeon, lady! Likely he'll put you in a sturdy-soled(I mean won't bend at all hardly!) gym shoe that you have to wear until you go to bed to keep tiny microfractures from growing. And put you on the bone-strenghteners of the day that haven't been shot down by the latest "studies". I've never had one but seen many treated and healed with following doc's orders.

| I'm really sorry to read this. You've certainly had more than your fair share of those sort of issues. Let us know what you find out if you go to the dr.
