[|Human|] The front part of my foot, at the head of my first metatarsal is really sore. The only way I can think of how this happened was from playing tennis, but I didn t have any real pain until yesterday. There s no bruising that I can see, but pulling my toes back hurts quite a bit, more so than pushing them forward. The pain is centralised and doesn t affect any of my other toes. Putting weight on it also hurts.. Is there a need to get this looked at? eg xrays? Could this be a stress fracture or does it sound more like it s just bruised?
[|AI|]  Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to a stress fracture. I suggest doing a X-ray for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also recommend using cold compresses for local application. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
