Please see: Please see your doctor for evaluation. You probably need a xray of your foot and may be some other tests to find out what is wrong.

Pain on Ball Foot: Sorry to hear. There could be many reasons, one of which is a plantar plate ligament tear/ sprain. The plantar plate is the ligament that holds the toes down with other ligaments and tendons. Repetitive microtrauma can cause swelling and pain when pressure is applied. Other causes could be metatarsalgia (genetic term for forefoot pain), neuroma, stress fracture, etc. Hope this helps!
