Stress fracture
A stress fracture in the foot is a common injury, particularly among athletes and those involved in intense physical activity. It generally occurs when the bones of the foot are subjected to repeated stress, often without adequate rest to allow full recovery. Stress fractures can affect various bones in the foot, such as the metatarsals, and manifest as progressive, persistent pain in the affected area.
Initially, the pain may be mild and disappear with rest, but it often becomes more intense with physical activity.
