What Causes Foot Pain Around The Navicular Bone?
about a month ago I was having severe leg cramps at night that would pull my toes and entire foot to pull down extremely far. Since then I have had a tremendous amount of pain in my foot around the navicular bone... could it be bones out of place from the stress of the cramps or could there be a stress fracture.

dear patient
cramping in the leg will not lead to joint dislocation in foot or stress fracture. Reason might be different. What is your age? if you are in young age navicular osteeophysitis may be the reason for pain. if you are in old age pain may be muscular on nature. I would like to advise xray of involved foot anteroposterior and oblique views to rule out bony injury. Meanwhile start tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief. You need to consult orthopaedic surgeon with the report.
