I am a runner training for a half marathon in April . Here recently I started having general pain in my left foot dorsal side. It started in my big toe and runs up my foot towards my shin I also have a knot on my extensor tendon(it's painful to touch) there was mild swelling after running I also have a bruise above my fourth toe that is practically painless . My shoes are to tight I know that's part of the problem and will fix it. I am worried I could have a stress fracture, I am full weight bearing on my left foot and can hop on my left foot ( the hop test) with no pain, however when I flex my toes towards my head there is increased pain I also have pain when I run . I feel like I'm in a crossroads I don't know if it's a stress fracture or tendonitis. I will rest it for two weeks using the rice protocol . But I would like to know if this sounds like a stress fracture to you or just tendonitis.
