Foot injuries metatarsalgia
Common Questions and Answers about Foot injuries metatarsalgia
foot
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.
the doc told me that it was over pronation due to wearing non-arched pt shoes for a year.Also he diagnosed that my arch muscles in the right foot are weak and although I don't have a flat foot he suggested doing some exercises to improve my foot arch.So hopefully I will improve my arch and start living the dream from next year. It was great talking with you guys thanks for your suggestions. Positron out....
I think the Weil Osteotomy is for hammer toe surgery, but transfer metatarsalgia, the callus under the foot is also a complication of bunion surgery. I don't know. I am not a doctor. I just wanted to share my experience with people who know what it's like not to be able to move freely and envy others who walk freely. I have gained weight too. My face is ugly, probably from the stiffness and pain for two years now.
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.

* many feet just ache and burn at the end of a long day, especially in those who are on their feet all day or are overweight (due to mechanical overload)
* hot and sweaty feet can cause a burning foot sensation (and may be related to the mechanical overload problem)
* the neuropathy that occurs in diabetes can cause a burning feet (common)
* other types of neuropathy (nerve damage) that can cause a burning foot include those that occur in chronic alcoholism, vitamin deficiencies (vitamin B)
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.
He said that was probably something I was born with. He said he did not know what was wrong with my foot and sent me to see a foot and ankle specialist. They ordered an ultrasound to rule out blood clots and there were not any. Now the foot and ankle specialist does not know what is wrong with my foot. I am not able to walk much on my foot and I can not put my toes to the floor. When I do walk on it, I have to walk on the side of my foot because the pain is so bad.
Hi, I have a pain in my right foot. It is on the top of my foot and only last a few seconds then goes away. Seems to happen most when I am relaxed or laying down. I can't recall any injuries, there is no bruising and does not hurt to touch or press. It is quite painful while it's happening and has been going on for the last 3 days. Does anyone know what this might be or how I can stop it from happening?
My son is now almost 13, when he was approx 6 we were told he had webbed feet as 2 toes on either foot appeared to be shorter.

There is pain, tenderness and swelling at the outer border of the foot, most marked at the site of 5th metatarsal.
Diagnosis is easy by an X-ray.
Treatment is by below knee walking plaster cast for 3 weeks.

I injured a tendon in my right foot several times. Recently, 5 months, I have had severe pain, could not walk on it. I used an ankle brace, heat, ice and rested it but it has not resolved itself completely. Is there anything left to do?
I have been playing football for 3 years now and no serious injuries in the past two. A few days ago i started getting a pain on my left foot about 2-3 inches above the big toe. It hurts the most when I walk up stairs or walk in general. When playing football i dont feel any pain what so ever because my mind is focused on the game. I am a Defensive linemen and i am 6'5" 290 lbs if that helps. There is no bruising or swelling. Please help me!
Though it is possible to get mortons neuroma twice in the same foot; other possibilities such as fractures, ligament/ tendon injuries, infections, inflammations like fasciitis etc, spur formation, heel fat pad syndrome, arch issues etc may also need to be considered as possible diagnoses to the symptoms. I would suggest consulting an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this helps.

As there is very little soft tissue to protect the top of the foot, bone injuries are common. The second, third and fourth Metatarsals are the most commonly injured bones due to something falling on your foot. Without any fracture you would need physiotherapy and anti inflammatory medications to decrease the pain and inflammation. I would also suggest you to wear proper footwear.

Approximately two weeks ago I fell down some concrete steps face first. Almost immediately afterwards, the middle of my lower leg started bruising and became extremely swollen. The swelling was larger than my knee and stuck out more towards my outer leg. I followed RICE over the next day and a half, but it kept swelling and the bruise going darker, which I expected. Now, the swelling has gone down a lot along with the bruising. The area is red now and hard as a rock but is still very tender.
It arises in one foot or the other -- I do not have simultaneous pain in both appendages at once. The pain is usually in the area of the ball of the foot, but not always. It can last up to 10-15 seconds. Then it dissipates. There is no trauma-related or exercise-related component -- I have no known athletic injuries inducing pain of this kind. No past foot-related issues of any kind. No pains of this sort anywhere else in my body.
Ideas?
If there is redness there is probably infection. There is a problem with foot injuries because oral antibiotics generally do not have sufficient strength to deal with infections in the extremities, which often require intravenous medications. So the answer is yes, you definitely require medical attention. If the infection goes into the bones and you develop osteomyelitis you may have to have your foot amputated so this is not an insignificant issue. Go to general quarters.
