What Causes Severe Pain On The Outer Side Of The Foot?

I ran eight miles last week, and ever since then the outer side of my foot has been hurting a lot. There is no swelling or bruising, just pain on that one side when I walk or bend my foot in any way. I have been icing and taking ibuprofen, but nothing has been helping. It is extremely painful after I work a shift at work. I take something before for pain, but by the time my shift is over it is back to hurting even more. In the morning when I get up and walk it feels really weird too, almost like there is sand pouring down my foot when I take a step. I m not sure what it could be since there is no swelling or bruising.
