A member asked:
I injured the ball of my foot, and it never healed properly. my physio blamed overpronation, but strengthening my arch didn't help. any ideas?

Could be : Sesamoiditis or fractured sesamoid, not sure exactly what the ball of the for is to you....if your including all the metatarsals then neuroma should be ruled out as well.

X-ray?: If you hadn't an X-Ray, get an x-ray. Look for a stress fracture. Other possibilities already neuroma and capsulitis.
