The typical symptoms of Metatarsal pain are inflammation and pain in the ball of the foot, the metatarsal bone is found at the front of the foot, slightly below the toes. And even though metatarsal pain in itself is not necessarily a critical condition, and will get better if you rest your foot and stop running on it. It is a bigger problem if you are in a physical occupation, or you are a keen runner.

Metatarsal pain is very common amongst sportsman and runners particularly, because it is an injury of the ball of the foot just below the toes. The metatarsal bones are long bones which are in between the phalanges and tarsal bones, which there are five in each foot.  These are basically carrying out two specific functions. The first of these is to act as a propulsion mechanism to push off from, the second is as a pivot mechanism that allows your body to stay in balance and support your entire body.

The feet are not typically something that most of us give any thought too, until something goes wrong, and we develop metatarsal pain or other types of chronic foot pain.

Metatarsal pain is in the ball of the foot, and is very important for most athletic and physical activities because it is the part of the foot that we typically use to swivel and move around on.

Metatarsal injuries are quite a common injury especially for runners, as there is a constant pounding and runners are putting constant stress on their feet.
