I am female age 66. My foot problem may have started several years ago, but more intense in the last 10 years. I wrote before and left out my age and gender. For many years I have carried groceries up several stairs and noticed that I put a lot of pressure on my right foot as the push off foot. I have noticed that my shoes (even wide ones) have a great indention in the big toe area. I have tried different shoes New Balance, Rockports and still seem to get the same flair up pain where my middle and second to last toe next to little toe feel like they are going to snap off. This happens when I am just sitting or driving. Occasionally when I am walking it feels like a rock in the ball of my foot all of a sudden. I had gone to a doctor once before and he said no evidence of a break in the foot but that I have a nerve that runs clear up to my butt and that when sitting I may be pinching the nerve.
