Has anyone ever had a stress fracture in your foot? I am going to the doctor either tomorrow or Wednesday...so no worries, I won't be treating myself!

I just have had this pain in my foot for the past few days (or maybe longer...) that sometimes also feels like a burning sensation. It really hurts when I wake up in the morning, or after I've been on my feet for a long time.

Can I have a DDN pre-diagnosis?

Stress fractures don't really feel like burning-more like "giving out", or unsupported. (At least that's my personal experience). To me it sounds more like a muscle or tendon injury...but I am no doctor!

Thanks! I hope you are right! And the burning is ony occaisional...but I was in so much pain today that it made me cry...so I hope I can get an appt soon!

Is it under your arch? I get Planters Fasciitis often because I have very high arches. It's inflamed tissue in your foot. I get it if I don't get enough arch support for an extended time. If I wear my tennis shoes with arch supports for a good amount of time when it develops, it goes away.

It hurts the most in the morning or when I go to use my feet after a period of rest.

sounds more like tendinitis of some sort or Plantar fasciitis.

Guess you'll find out soon

Did you go to the doctor?

Finally went to the doctor yesterday...Classic case of fallen arches, but I was having so much pain because I have 5 or so accessory bones in my right foot, and 3 in my left. Haha I'm such a diva that even my skeleton needs accessories!

But seriously, she said that the only reason I was having all the pain is that because my arches have started to fall, all of my bones are shifting just a little, which in a normal foot wouldn't be so bad. Prescription: orthotic insoles and rx strength Motrin. Much better than some of the alternatives!

My husband had a fallen arch. OUCH!! I hope it feels better soon.

Hey, me too! I just went in for foot pain and got the same diagnosis. Here's to expensive orthodics!

I was surprised that extra bones was the cause of my pain. Do many people have extra bones in their feet?

Not that it's really a good thing but yay, I'm glad you found out what it was and yay it's not a fracture and you don't need surgery!!

Work with a good podiatrist and perhaps some physical therapy.

Good luck
