For the past two weeks the ball of my left foot has been extremely painful, hurts when flexing and with pressure. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain caused by: When you have pain at the ball of your feet, it could be from several causes. If you've been active, you could be causing "capsulitis" or inflammation of the joints at the ball of your feet. Also, there could be a stress fracture, but diagnostic tests are needed to rule that out. Lastly, you could also have an aggravated nerve called a "neuroma" or (historically) "morton's neuroma".
