Answers:
Pain under the ball of the foot (Metatarsalgia) is a common complaint among women wearing high heels and fashion shoes. Pain in this area of the foot may also occur when wearing hard shoes without any cushioning inside, such as work boots.

Metatarsalgia occurs when the metatarsals (forefoot bones) drop and the surrounding ligaments weaken. The entire forefoot structure collapses, in turn leading to excess pressure and friction under the ball of the foot. The key reason for this problem is that when wearing high heels, most of our body weight is resting on the forefoot area.

There are orthotic insoles for high-heeled shoes that restore biomechanical balance by supporting the arch as well as the metatarsal bones. This means that your bodyweight is distributed more evenly over the entire foot, instead of just on the forefoot.

Sit on the floor put your leg straight out and pull your foot toward you at the same time with your other hand from the center of your foot push gently with two fingers do this exercise a few times and the pain should go away. Gently push on your toes as far as you can do this a few times and it should let up. I had this same cramping whenever I would wear water shoes swimming.Health Question & Answer
