I have been running on a treadmill pretty fast and hard the last two weeks. I do about 3 miles or so and I've been running on and off my whole life . I finished a run 2 days ago and felt fine. I did feel like I needed to stretch my calfs more though. Later that day I was at work and walking and got a shooting pain in my left foot/ankle when I was walking. Like I had to immediately take the weight off my foot. . It was as my toes were pushing off the ground. Ever since It has gotten worse and now I must walk on the outside of my foot to walk. Also when I flex my foot up with toes pointing up and roll ankle toward the left I get the pain in my arch. The pain is in the medial part of my foot like where my arch is and also the top part of my ankle and the back of my heel and sometimes bottom middle portion of foot. Is this a stress fracture? Anything I can do beside not run and ice it? Thank you for any insight. I've made a doctors appt but they can't see me for a week.
