A member asked:
I have a pain, more like a burning sensation on the outside of my foot, where the 5th metatarsal is located, what could that be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Could be many things like neuroma, capsulitis, irritated nerve(s), metatarsalgia, neuropathy, etc.... More than likely it's just a temporary condition. Give it a couple of days and if symptoms don't subside go visit your podiatrist.
