Lateral foot pain at the 5th metatarsal head.

by Chris Fowler
(Flowood, MS)

I have slight pain on toeoff and it is tender to touch mainly on the lateral aspects of the foot. I have flat feet. Slight pain when I flex my pinky toe and more pain when I entend it, right in the head of the 5th metatarsal. It is alil tender when I stand on it. It does not seem to raised or inflammed looking like a bunion. I have not had xrays yet. It all started when I went to get a deep tissue massage. I had my feet worked on that day and immediately when I got up I felt alil pain. That has been about 10 days and it is exactly the same. Any suggestions or avenues of treatment.

Hi Chris,
Read my section on "capsulitis" and see if that does not sound like your problem.
