Stress fractures can pose a significant problem, even though many people don't think that they're real fractures. Don't believe it--they are. The healing time for fractures is about four to six weeks, and while stress fractures can develop in any foot bone, they most frequently affect one of the metatarsals in the front of the foot.

Signs of a foot fracture can be subtle and include pain and a slight swollen area on top of the foot. Most often the pain is localized over one metatarsal or toe bone.

While stress fractures are most commonly associated with physical activity, you don't have to be an athlete to develop one. It can develop as a result of having other health issues such as osteoporosis.

Treatment involves avoiding weight-bearing exercises such as long walks and immobilization in a walking cast. If the fracture fails to heal within four to six weeks, an MRI may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis and determine treatment.
