You have a PM

AVN is where the bone loses its blood supply. Freiberg's Infraction is what it is called when it involves a metatarsal head, typically the 2nd. Take a toothpick or match, find most painful spot on bottom of your foot, make a spot using grease or lipstick(if you are married, or happen to be a cross dresser) step on the insole, cut a SMALL hole in insole with mark at center, perhaps a cm in diameter, you can always cut a hole bigger. This will take the weight off the involved area. Do not walk barefoot, do not go running, maybe take up swimming or something.

The metatarsal head will turn more white on radiograph, and start to flatten out, did you get to see the pics? If you are not in your teens or twenties, it is less likely to be AVN.
