A member asked:
Would a podiatrist be able to figure out why i have pain in ball of foot? i had xray, mri, nerve tests and emg. told from my back but pain is standing

See one and see.: That is a good plan. Back pain changes how we walk and so can cause foot problems. Foot problems can also cause back problems by changing stance and gait. All foot pain is not due to back problems, and vice versa. It is certainly worth seeing a podiatrist to be evaluated.
