Repped appreciate the insight man. I didn't know what it was but it was progressively getting better last week little by little so i was like maybe il be ok. I played a soccer game saturday and basically "all out sprinted" 1 time and i was in pain. I was like this can't be good. I hate doctors and never go but i kinda just wanted to know. It was a non contact injury from my soccer game this past sunday. I don't even remember when it happened i just know around the second half it was hurting then monday i couldn't even bend my foot without pain.
Thankfully im seated most of the day so i am off it for the most part all day. I figure light weight squats wont be too bad since i pushe through my midfoot/heel area and the fractrue is up toward my toes. But it probably isn't "good" for it by any means. I struggle at resting. I don't know how to burn off all the energy i have from sitting at a desk all day without the gym.
Find other predominantly upper body things to do in the meanwhile. Surely you could afford to improve your grip strength. Get a copy of "Mastery of Hand Strength" by John Brookfield and work on some of that in place of lower body training. Grip strength helps with many things (deadlifts, arm strength, forearm size), can be fun, and doesn't require much specific equipment. Or, look up Ido Portal's "Hanging Challenge", where you hang for 7 minutes every day, for 30 days straight (http://www.idoportal.com/blog). Of course, watch how you land, if you do the hanging challenge. Spend the time improving your mobility on problem areas. There are many possibilities, and strength is not the only physical attribute worth pursuing.
