Enlarged nerve: This pain can be many different things. If the pain starts in the ball of your foot and moves between your toes then you may have an enlarged nerve(neuroma). You can try ice ,elevation and a medication like Aleve (naproxen) to reduce the inflammation and pain. If the pain persists or there is any swelling contact a physician for further treatment.
