Why Does the Ball of My Foot Hurt?
What can I do to stop Ball of Foot Pain?
Footwear: Changed to lower heeled stable shoes. A reasonable cushion to the sole and ensure that the shoes can not be easily bent in half when held. Think Trainers for a short while if the pain is present at all times. STOP BAREFOOT WALKING at home and use Crocs or other such sandals.
Ice: Ice the area twice per day with frozen peas for 8 minutes.
