Does anyone else suffer from lateral foot pain?

Does anyone else suffer from lateral foot pain? I’m beginning to wonder if I have a stress fracture. Thinking I might go have it looked at today by a professional. I’ve been in pain for a week now. Lots of limping and unable to put a lot of pressure on it.

Bilateral Lateral 👣 Pain! It definitely wouldn't hurt to have it looked at, better safe than sorry sometimes. I learned that with my son, Mechanics Teacher said have it x-rayed; turned out itd been his 3rd fracture NOT 1st🙄 "Nuclear Medicine Bone Scan"; it rules out almost everything bone wise. DEC 2020 my Neuro sent me for one; wanted to see if it was bone, muscle &/or nerve. Nothing wrong my Bones at that point; still haven't had any useful nerve testing. 7yrs & counting🤦‍♀️; started left 2016 & right 2021! I can't even get a full picture of the marks. 2019 my AFO (ankle foot Orthotic) Brace caused an ulcer. 8wks on crutches waiting for the ulcer to heal😖 Left side inner ankle bone to be exact with the ulcer location.

Thx! The 🇨🇦 Free Provincial Healthcare ... ROYAL SUCK SOME TIMES🤦‍♀️ My Case ... Family Physician refers patient to Specialist then the Specialist then refers patient to a Surgical Specialist😬 My now retired Neuro figured Dystonia; it works out to 10.5months w/o a Neuro🙄 It's just great atm as my Eye Doc just finished telling me "I need a Consult with a Neurosurgeon regarding my vision"😒 ... I would've thought an Eye Doc could do the referral🤷‍♀️

I have had lateral pain in both of my feet for 7 years. Nobody can figure out what it is.
