How to treat a stress fracture?

I have a stress fracture on the top of my foot near my middle toe. After 4 weeks it is only getting worse. Any suggestions on how to help it heal?

P.S. I cannot go back to the doctor because I do not have health ins.

Thanks in advance..

    if you cannot go to the doctor, stay off the foot and use crutches. put no pressure on your toes.

    I really don't understand the multiple people on this site diagnosing themselves with a "stress fracture";; even a "full" fracture may not cause the bone to come thru the skin;; the only way for you to know what is going on with the bone in whatever place you injured is to get it XRAYED!!! until then, ya have to scream with the pain;; just get it checked, you can do yourself more injury by not knowing what's going on...
