Metatarsals are the long bones in the forefoot and each foot contains five of them. These bones can be fractured through impact for example a viscous football collision or a more gradual onset as stress fracture. Some symptoms of a metatarsal stress fracture are pain in your foot and swelling, If you notice these symptoms you should visit your local doctor for an examination.
