I’ve been on a solid run lately — increased workouts, hitting 15-20k steps a day, and finally making real progress on weight loss (down 25 lbs, still a lot to go). Now I’ve got pain on the top/bridge of my left foot that’s been progressively worse over the past few days.
The confusing part is it actually feels better the more I walk on it — stiff and painful in the morning, fine after warming up. But there’s a very specific pinpoint tender spot when I press on it, which apparently points toward stress fracture. I can jump on it just fine, can jog etc., the pain is like a 4/10.
I know I should rest it. I just really don’t want to lose momentum. Has anyone dealt with this and found a way to maintain cardio while letting it heal? The whole process is very psychological for me and I’m not ready to just sit on the couch and watch the scale stop moving. Do I even have a stress fracture? I don’t want to go to a doctor and pay a bunch of money just so they can tell me to rest + ice
