I played on a 3rd metatarsal stress fracture for half a basketball season in high school before it was discovered when I aggravated it in a game. Before that it was a very mild pain that came and went. But it never broke and I finished the season on it.
That's pretty much the normal for a stress fracture. Most folks aren't really aware of the significance of that dull pain with pressure until it "pops". And even when it pops, it doesn't that bad until some swelling around the fracture develops as part of the repair process.
Henry was just being tough- which is his MO. Unfortunate because if he had rested it and/or changed his footwear, probably could have avoided the fracture.
