If you are a runner and you get an aching pain on the top of the foot, and it's not getting better, you might have this weird thing called a cuboid stress fracture. 

Cuboid stress fractures are often misdiagnosed as an "ankle sprain" or "foot sprain." 

The cuboid bone is positioned in a way that it can get squished in between the other foot bones. 

Cuboid stress fractures can cause a lot of trouble if you ignore it, because it can get worse and turn into an actual fracture.

Even worse, the weakened cuboid bone can get crushed completely if you ignore it.
