Anon - Unfortunately your doctor's advice to stay off the foot so it could heal was good advice. When you are active and putting pressure on your foot it puts pressure on the muscles and tendons instead of allowing them to recover and heal. This is going to lengthen your overall recovery time.
Crutches can cause pain when they are not at the right height or used properly. The following article may help: http://www.ehow.com/how_13092_crutches.html
Since you have been dealing with this pain for two weeks you may also want to call your doctor's office to find out if this is normal or if this is a concern and you need to be seen again or evaluated again.
