Questions that make a stress fracture more or less likely in a runner

Earlier today I was talking with a runner who felt some pain in her foot during a run yesterday. So she got worried she might have a metatarsal stress fracture in her foot. So she booked a consultation call and we had a discussion on the phone about the possibilities.    Here is what she asked:   “I had an aching pain for a few steps during my run yesterday...is that a stress fracture?  The aching pain was on the top of my foot for a few steps today…I want to know if it could be a stress fracture?”   So I thought it might be useful to talk about some of the questions I asked her to help figure out whether or not her foot pain might actually be a metatarsal stress fracture, or something else.   Today on the Doc On The Run podcast were talking about questions that make a stress fracture more, or less likely in a runner.
