Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia is a common overuse injury that is characterized by pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot. The pain is typically aggravated when walking or running, or in athletes who participate in high-impact activities. Most often, the pain comes on over the course of several months, as opposed to suddenly.
If pain persists, schedule an appointment with a physician at the Cleveland Foot & Ankle Clinic for treatment.
