Until the 18Ds chime in, here's my .02...
Even if you have a stress fracture, how would they/you treat it? Assuming it's not out of position (an actual break),
basic treatment is RICE:
Rest. Stay off it as much as possible. No impact cardio (no rucking, running).
Ice. Reduces inflamation. Other anti-inflamatories (Aleve, Motrin, etc) may assist.
Compression. Reduce inflamation by squeezing, massaging or other method (Ace Bandage, etc)
Elevation. Reduce inflamaion by elevating your fot while sleeping, sitting & resting.
It could be Plantar Fascitis...which requires stretching and...you guessed it...more RICE.
The stretching for this focuses on your calves and your foot itself.
A Strassburg Sock (about $30 at a running store) may also help.
Best,
JM
