I have pain in the ball of my left foot that radiates to the top below third toe. What can I do to relieve the pain? I am on my feet all day as I work in retail. The pain gets worse as the day goes on.
Thank you for contacting us. IPFH cannot provide diagnoses or treatment recommendations on line. The best thing you can do is consult your primary care physician or a foot health professional. Once he or she has diagnosed your condition, then appropriate treatment can begin. Forefoot pain can have various causes, and you can learn some of them by using our Foot Pain Self-Assessment Tool. Please note that this is not a diagnostic tool, nor is it a substitute for a consultation with a medical professional. The sooner you see a physician, the sooner you can be on your way to relieving your pain. We wish you the best, and hope you will very quickly be free of the pain.
