What Is Metatarsalgia?
Metatarsalgia is a condition marked by pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot — usually under the metatarsal bones. It’s often caused by overuse, improper footwear, or abnormal foot biomechanics that put excessive pressure on the forefoot.

Pain that worsens with standing, walking, or running
Feeling of having a small pebble in your shoe
Tingling or numbness in the toes
Who’s at Risk?
