A member asked:
Severe pain and swelling is at the ball of the foot after a full marathon, for 4 days now?

? Fracture: I would show it to your doctor. He/she will likely recommend an x-ray. Metatarsal fractures are not uncommon in distance runners. There are other causes as well but that should be looked at soon.
