Metatarsalgia48 public posts
Metatarsalgia has stopped me running.
I searched the internet and learned about metatarsalgia. It describes the condition perfectly. I tried some self-help advice such as changing how my Brooks Ghost running shoes are laced but this made no difference. I managed a miserable 2k before stopping.
The Post I Don’t Want to Write
I had looked up ball of the foot pain and come up with the idea of metatarsalgia.
He did his inspecting and a bit of poking and prodding; very tender on top of the foot. He felt I needed an x-ray just to be on the safe side.

Running with metatarsalgia
Has anyone got any experience of running with metatarsalgia (pain in ball of foot)? I’ve managed to run with it until recently when the pain became unbearable. I feel as though i need some sort of protection to the area but don’t know what to use.
Hill runs are also for slow-running jogglers like me
But it’s a great comparison how far I’ve come: https://healthunlocked.com/bridgeto10k/posts/147127163/my-first-hill-sprints-yippee-and-first-metatarsalgia-boohoo
Insoles?
I ran for about 18 months post-graduation but developed metatarsalgia which has taken about 9 months to heal. I'm thinking about lacing up my trainers again but am worried it might happen again. However, I have seen lots of adverts for shock-absorbing insoles and I wondered if those would help.

The pain in the ball of the foot is more annoying than painful, but it is a slightly burning sensation between and in the area of the 3rd and 4th toe so after looking into it, I have a suspicion that it is the early warning bells of metatarsalgia and more specifically Morton's neuroma.
