Suggest Treatment For Severe Foot Pain
I have a pain in my right foot, mostly in the ball of foot and behind my toes. I would like to know what would cause that. It came on suddenly yesterday and has subsided somewhat today. My foot feels very tender to when I am walking. It feels like a deep dull pain.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in right foot, mostly in the ball of foot and behind toes . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like achilles tendinitis , bone spurs , bunions , bursitis , corns and calluses , diabetic neuropathy , gout or plantar fasciitis . But in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to bone abnormalities , thinning out or shifting of your foot pad’s fatty tissue , high arch or flat feet or hammertoes . I would suggest you to consult podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Podiatrist may recommend supportive footwear such as sneakers , arch supports , metatarsal pads , shock absorbing shoe insoles and inserts and orthotics . For now give proper rest to your feet and put your feet in hot water tub with one spoon of salt daily at least for 15 minutes .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
