Hip pain: Weird Pain in Foot-- stress fracture?


Weird Pain in Foot-- stress fracture?I've never had problems with my feet, but all of a sudden I get this horrifying pain in my foot. With my foot just relaxed, it feels bruised (but there's no bruise or discoloration) right below the ankle bone and that slight area around it and when applied pressure and i try moving my foot outwards, I get the pain. When i walk slowly from heel to toe, the outside edge of my foot starts to hurt and then as I roll to the forefoot a pulling pain begins at my heel and pulls towards the arch of the foot-- the more I walk the sharper the pain on the edge of my foot gets like something is being squeezed or crunched. if i walk on my tip toes the pain in the side subsides temporarily and there's only minor pulling towards the heel and arch.
I'm a long distance runner, but the only pain I've ever gotten is shin splints/knee/hip pain. never anything in my feet and my shoes are only a month a half old-- could it be a stress fracture? or just a bad strain? I don't think it's plantar fasciitis
When I ice it-- it gets numb unusually quick-- it also feels like it's swelling when i ice it--- occasionally i feel a dull aching around my ankle but not too bad--- thank you all for your advice! I just want to know if anyone has ever had this happen and what it is! thanks again!

See a foot doctor, seriously. All we could do here is guess and I don't think it's good for your health sake.
