bruised metatarsal area/sprained ankle

I fell down the stairs a few days ago and there is now significant bruising around my ankle and on the underside of my foot in the metatarsal area. I am unable to support my full weight on the front of my foot. Is there a possibility of a stress fracture from the impact of my fall?

    I would need to see the shoe you are describing and how it fits your foot. Sometimes a metatarsal pad is helpful, but I see people put them in incorrectly, so they get frustrated.You might consider making an appointment to see a podiatrist.
