Reason for pain in balls of
your feet
Stone bruise, also known as
metatarsalgia, is not so much an injury as it is the symptom of various
ailments. You will know if you have an issue when there is pain under the ball
of your foot. The pain is typically experienced during weight-bearing
activities or ones that induce additional force upon the foot, like running.
You will need to see a
Podiatrist and be examined. You will
need an x-ray to evaluate for bone bruise or a fracture. Pain after walking could be caused by
tendonitis, capsulitis or synovitis.
Given that stone bruises
arise for a variety of reasons, there are various methods that will be used in
treating your pain and discomfort. Some of the treatments we recommend and use
to relieve the pain include resting, wearing appropriate footwear, and the use
of orthotics. Elevating the affected foot after long periods of standing or
exercise, along with an icing regimen, can provide relief. If the root cause is
ill-fitting or underperforming footwear, a simple change of shoes might help.
Orthotics can help evenly distribute bodyweight and are quite beneficial if an
uneven distribution is the issue.
