I have pain when i walk on the bottom of my foot at the head of my 4th an 5th metatarsal. i had an xray and didn't see a stress fracture. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plantar fasciitis : Painful head of metatarsal area could be joint irritation or tendons, once you have ruled out a fracture. RICE, rest, ice, compression, and elevation may work well. A short 5 day course of NSAID (Motrin, Ibuprofen, aleve, or naproxen ) may help also
