I have finally been running more over the last 4-5 months, entirely on the trail. I run about 2.5 times a week on average with a couple midweek runs and then a longer run on the weekends which are up to about 12 miles typically.
I went out to run yesterday evening and about 10 seconds into my run the left outer part of my foot started hurting to the point my gait quickly turned to a limp. I tried stretching again and a few other things and couldn't get it to stop hurting so, trying to do a good job of listening to my body, I walked it back in. I iced last night and stretched.
This morning, I was going to go for a quick 5 minute jog to see if the pain was gone but I couldn't make it down the driveway without it coming back. So now, I'm a little concerned. The pain is generally outer mid foot. Doesn't really hurt to walk. This is the same foot I have been having plantar fasciitis on, but the issue/pain is completely different.
Any thoughts? A quick google self diagnostic makes me think it could be a stress fracture. If so, is it worth seeing a doctor?
Thanks for the feedback
