Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Probably you have stress Fracture of 2nd or 3rd metatarsal. I suggest you get X-ray of the right foot to see the fracture if possible. Sometimes the fracture is not visible and appears only on bone scan or MRI. In the meantime continue Aleve and use a foot splint. Do not walk much.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
