foot pain metatarsalgia

When foot pain occurs under the ball of the foot, the medical term is metatarsalgia. Foot pain can be caused by increased pressure on the metatarsal heads. This can be due to constricting foot wear or high heel shoes. Other conditions that can cause foot pain include ligament injuries and joint irritation. These problems can also be relieved with more accommodating footwear.

Nearly two years later, I am not able to walk properly or much without pain in that there is a callus under the foot in the I think "third metatarsal" area. The operation was on the 2nd toe, the toe next to my big toe. It was a small hammer toe. The result of the failed Weil is: floating hammer toe, the toe is much shorter than the other toes, so I am walking on only four toes.

I am pretty sure I have a severe case of Metatarsalgia on my right foot. I went to see a specialist and he recommended aetrex memory foam Orthotics and some Physical Therapy. Physical Therapy is treating me for Plantar Fasciitis. They also recommended I wear Metatarsal pads, which I have tried. Without a metatarsal pad and using memory foam insoles the 3rd and 4th toe on my foot feels tingly every time I walk.

Burning feet are a common complaint and can be caused by a number of conditions - some are local and minor, and some are more serious. Burning feet can keep people awake at night and be a source of continuous pain. It is more common in those over the age of 50 years, but a burning foot can occur in younger age groups. Burning feet are more common in those with diabetes as part of the neuropathy (nerve damage) that can develop.

Hi, For a couple years I've had chronic pain in my right toe joint, I've been tested for a bunch of things including gout and have been to physio, and they said it was injured, however I did not do anything to injure it at all. I am waiting on a bone scan but I really don't think it's going to show anything, since it doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with my bones, it's seems to be coming within the joint and then the whole area around it gets inflamed.

painful soles indicate metatarsal head pain "metatarsalgia". there is supposed to be fat padding beneath this area. when people yo-yo diet, they lose fat to the plantar feet. however, when they gain weight..it doesn't gain back into the plantar feet. when there is less fat padding to the soles, the metatarsal heads hit the ground harder.

Hi, I'm 15 years old and I've been having foot pain on the middle top part of my foot for about 2 years now. The foot pain is only present with strenuous exercise, especially after a long period of rest. When there is pain, some burning feeling is also present.
