Metatarsalgia

Metatarsalgia is a condition where the metatarsal region of the foot, also commonly referred to as the ball-of-the-foot and is located just behind the toes, becomes painful and inflamed. The term metatarsalgia refers to the "metatarsal," which is the area in the forefoot containing five bones, and "gia," meaning pain in an area. The metatarsal bones run through the forefoot from the arch in the mid-foot to the base of the toe joints.
