I have been diagnosed with metatarsalgia (which is, as I understand it, an inflammation of the metatarsal joints when pressure is applied to the ball of the foot such as walking on hard surfaces). This is primarily in the left foot. I also have p.f. in both feet.
My doctor has prescribed custom orthotics to take the pressure off the ball of the foot but I find it is still painful to walk after a short period of time. I bought the Birkenstocks suggested on this board to help the P. F., which they do, but the ball of foot pressure is still there. I was just wondering if anyone else has metatarsalgia, if so, how do you handle it?
