bowed fifth metatarsal

My son has been complaining of pain on the outside of his foot, his fifth metatarsal seems very bowed and is sometimes red and swollen. Even when it isnt swollen it sticks out alot.can you give me any ideas. He did injure that part of his foot about 12months ago but nothing showed on xray.

Tuli's Double-Ribbed Pro heel cups are the most advancesd shock absorbing heel cups available today. The primary force of the heel strike is absorbed by the larger and higher waffle pattern while the lower and denser waffle pattern absorbs the high pressure and final force spike of heel strike. Perfect for sports activities.
