Pain in the heads of the metatarsal bones.<\/p>\n

\n

A pain in the metatarsal region of the foot. The metatarsal bones are the five long cylindrical bones that make up the central skeleton of the foot. They are located between the tarsal bones (which form the ankle and back of the foot) and the phalanges (the toes).<\/p>\n

Pain affecting the metatarsal region of the foot. It is common in adolescents, and may be associated with flat-foot; in adults it may be a manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. Morton\u2019s metatarsalgia is a form related to compression of the nerve to the second toe cleft, usually from wearing tight shoes.<\/p>\n

Metatarsalgia is a sudden, intense burning cramp that occurs in the front part of the foot, typically around the fourth metatarsal bone. The exact cause of this painful condition is unclear, but it usually affects only one foot and is extremely discomforting, often necessitating the removal of the shoe and a foot massage for relief. Metatarsalgia is often linked to wearing shoes that are too tight or may be associated with a weakening of the front arch of the foot.<\/p>\n
