bottom of foot pain







The purpose of this page is to give you surfers and information seekers an easier way to diagnose your pain on the bottom of the foot, including ball of foot pain. I have noticed that many people use bottom of foot pain as their "search" term.

Although my homepage has a Foot-Pain-Finder which helps you identify the type of pain you may be suffering from, I thought a page listing specific symptoms on the bottom of the foot would make things simpler.

I have listed the more common problems that we foot specialists see on a regular basis, but this list is not all inclusive. Some of these conditions have separate pages which discuss them, a few of them do not (at least at this point in time).

Hopefully this will help you in your search for answers.

bursitis A painful mildly red and mildly swollen area usually found on the ball of the foot, also in the heel area.

capsulitis Inflammation occurring on the bottom of the foot just behind the toes due to an overstretching of the ligament that attaches the toe bone to the metatarsal bone.

metatarsalgia Pain occurring on the ball of the foot usually reproduced by direct pressure to the head of the metatarsal bone.

Morton's neuroma A nerve entrapment generally occuring behind the third and fourth toes which will send shooting pain, tingling, burning or numbing sensation into the toes.

plantar fasciitis Pain due to inflammation of the long ligament that raises the arch. The pain of plantar fasciitis is generally more common where it attaches into the heel.

turf toe is mainly an athletic injury due to over extension of the big toe (toe is bent upwards) thus resulting in pain on the bottom of the big toe where it attaches into the bone behind it.

sesamoiditis Pain behind the big as a result of trauma to the sesamoid bones which are two small bone located underneath the first metatarsal bone.

Looking for an effective, safe means to reduce or eliminate your foot pain, consider BLU-MJK. Use it in place of oral anti-inflammatory medication. Click the picture below
