If it was a crack there's not much that can be done except to rest from aggravating activities e.g. running, jumping and see how it settles down.
Hi and thanks for replying,

Yes there is pain during the night especially if I catch the top of my foot with the other for example - to be honest at the moment it is just throbbing constantly.

The strange thing is I have had no swelling or bruising at all and I have had no pain in my anke joint. The pain is on top of my foot (where your laces would be on a pair of trainers) and when I walk or weight bear at all there is a sharp stabbing pain. It also hurts if I try to lift my toes up towards me.

I have booked an appt to see the doctor tomorrow for some further advice.
