I experience extreme pain on the right outside side of my foot when I step. With each step I take the pain grows worse and worse. When I step or move my foot the pain extends to the middle of my foot and surrounding parts of the injured area on my foot. The pain I am experiencing is almost identical to that which I experienced a few years ago when I hurt my foot, had it x-rayed, and was informed that I had a Jones Fracture. I don't think it ever really healed right. Ever since then I experience that same pain on the side of my foot from time to time. This time however the pain is way worse and isn't going away, but rather, getting worse with each step. It hurts so bad. I went to the ER today though and they took an x-ray and said there was no break. They said to just ice it and take ibuprofen. I have to admit I'm a little annoyed and dissatisfied with this analysis seeing as it doesn't solve the problem that I can't walk. Also, there has to be something wrong with my foot right? Random pain like this doesn't just happen out of nowhere for no reason? I didn't do anything to it, so it can't be bruised or inflamed from being hit. The only thing I can think of is maybe I landed on it funny when doing a workout that involved jumping jacks the other night. It's been a few days now and the pain is just getting worse. What could it be? What should I do??? Also, something weird that occurs, the more
