Metatarsal pain: Sounds like this is metatarsal pain which is common. Do you need to see someone? Typically this would be irritation of the metatarsal joints and this is usually related to strain of capsule or tendons. Typically rest and NSAID would improve. If this is not resolving or it has been an ongoing problem you should seek care. This can be with a Healthtap provider or someone in your area.
