Foot pain in Vigo

Hi there. 6th day of Camino Portugues Coastal. For 3 days I've had pretty bad pain on the top of my right foot, right below my little toes. Resting and elevating haven't seemed to help much. I am limping along and taking buses and trains.

I am in Vigo now which is a pretty big city. I'm thinking of seeing a doctor or getting x-rays, any advice? I'm afraid it might be a stress fracture.
