Help diagnosing a problem

First, thank you all for such helpful and important answers. I must say you all(and especially MrPhysio+) made me much more relaxed about the problem because I was fearing that the pain was persisting because I am still bearing weight daily on the foot. Your suggestions all sound very good and I will try them, and still remember that the rehab might take longer then expected
My biggest fear was, as I said, was the fact that this type of injury might require non-weight bearing for a certain amount of time or partial weight bearing. Do any of you think this might be the case? Also, what about returning to running? I can certainly bear the pain but do not want the healing process to slow down if I return too early....

Also- answer to violable:

When did you get the xray? Because often with feet fractures an xray won't pick up the fracture if done right after the injury. It tends to pick it up better as the bone starts to heal. Is it possible to get re-xrayed?

Thankyou for your answer, Violablue. The X-ray was done 10 days after the trauma occured. I can ask for another one but as MyPhysio+ said, I think it might not be needed at this time...

Thanks again everyone!

I'd say 4 weeks healing time no matter bone, tendon, ligament, may be too soon for the high impact of running. It's important to always let pain be your guide. It sounds like you are having pain with weight bearing and walking, so running will likely be pushing it at this point.
