Is Pain in the Ball of Your Foot Slowing You Down? 🦶💥
Pain in the ball of the foot can make walking, standing, or even exercising uncomfortable. Here are some common causes:
Metatarsalgia: This condition causes pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, often from overuse, high-impact activities, or improper footwear.
Morton's Neuroma: A thickening of tissue around the nerve between the toes, causing sharp, burning pain, usually between the 3rd and 4th toes.
Bunions: A bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe can shift weight to the ball of your foot, leading to discomfort.
Sesamoiditis: Inflammation of the small bones (sesamoids) in the ball of the foot due to overuse or repetitive stress.
Foot Deformities: Conditions like hammertoes, flat feet, or high arches can contribute to pain in this area.
