Well the anti-inflammatories never worked, so I went back to the doctor on Monday. He said it might be a stress fracture and gave me a referral for xray, which I have had done this morning.
"The joints of the foot are intact and the joint spaces are quite well preserved. There are no signs of a chronic erosive or degenerative arthropathy. There is a subtle localised periosteal reaction over the medical aspect of the next of the 2nd metatarsal which is consistent with a stress fracture and this should be correlated clinically. No similar change in present in other metatarsals. There are no signs of osteonecrosis in the metatarsal heads"
So i think it means... that i have new bone growth, that has happened as a result of an injury (what injury i don't know) which is consistent with a stress fracture. No sure what "correlated clinically" actually means, but I think it means "you put your info with our info and we might have a better idea"?? I also don't have any dead bone.
