Metatarsalgia


Description

Metatarsalgia, otherwise known as “ball of foot pain” is a generalized term for forefoot pain. Many different things can cause metatarsalgia, each of which may result in drastically different approaches to treatment. Common causes of forefoot pain are high arched feet, loss of fat pad under the forefoot, calluses, Neuroma, and plantar plate syndrome, and your local foot doctor will help you get to an accurate diagnosis. All symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by your podiatrist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition. 

The good news is, metatarsalgia is very treatable once a proper diagnosis is made by a foot doctor in New York. With Our Podiatrist’s help, you can get back on your feet and pain free in no time at all!

Symptoms

People who experience chronic ball of foot pain often develop painful calluses on the skin under the foot. When you age, you sometimes lose the padding of fat underneath the ball area of your foot, causing additional pressure to the area. Those who wear heels are more likely to suffer this sort of forefoot pain.

Consult a top podiatrist Our Podiatrists or your local podiatry doctor if you have chronic ball of foot pain. The following conditions may worsen metatarsalgia pain:

  • Arthritis: Along with other joint conditions and diseases, arthritis can affect the metatarsal joints in the ball of your foot.
  •  
  • Diabetes: A nerve-related condition called diabetic neuropathy can create foot pain.
  •  
  • Skin lesions: Lesions and severe calluses can press on the metatarsals, creating ball of foot pain.
  •  
  • Neuromas: Enlarged nerves often located between the metatarsals
  •  
  • Injury: Stress fractures and other injuries to your metatarsal bones add to ball of foot pain.
