Metatarsalgia, or metatarsal pain, is an umbrella term for
pain felt in the metatarsal region of the foot (the ball or the top of your
foot). Your foot is made up of a series of bones, starting at the ankle
(tarsals), moving into your foot (metatarsals), and all the way to your toes
(phalanges). Most often metatarsal pain is felt in the ball of the foot just
behind the big and second toes. It can be caused by either too short a first
metatarsal bone or hypermobility of the first ray (metatarsal bone and medial
cuneiform bone behind it), both of which result in excess pressure into the
second metatarsal head. That is a whole lot of medical talk that comes down to
one thing: serious pain in your foot. If you want to seek relief from painful
