Tendonitis or Metatarsal Stress Fracture

[Roobay]

i have a great deal of pain on the top of my foot, the boney bit , to the point i cannot put my weight on the foot
there is swelling and reduced movement, im using ice packs anti inflams , i have been off the bike for over a week now
and i was hoping to see some improvement, but the pain is still there.
Anyone else who has had this can shed any light on any other forms of treatment

Sounds like stress fracture to me. Which metatarsal? Usually there needs to be some trauma, but somewhat common in runners (not so much cyclists).

I use to brake those from running a lot. Not really much else you can do, and my doc said it would not get any worse so if you can manage the pain, you can keep running /cycling. I ended up stop the running all together because of it.

As a physician who specializes in foot & ankle surgery I would without seeing you think you most likely have a stress fracture.
Get your calcium levels (other standard blood work too) checked also, you might have hyperparathyroidism. Don't stress, see
your doctor.
