I think i have a stress fracture of my ankle

Ok, so it's blatantly not, but it hurts when i put any pressure on it. A combination of running too much recently (10k, 8k and 7k in the last 5 days), inappropriate footwear for my running style and a general weediness has given me a bit of an injury. The idea of the fracture came about based on the fact it's a weird sort of pain and that paula radcliffe had something similar before the olympics. But then, she was on crutches. I think part of me wouldn't mind a proper injury - i'm 30 years old and have never broken a bone, although admittedly that's probably not a bad thing at this stage. I can't help feeling it makes me less of a man though, like not being able to talk about football down the pub, take the lids off jars or understand why indiana jones and james bond are so good.
