burnsie Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Good Morning, I am in week three of C25K and have soreness on the ball of my right foot. I am resting in between days. I have soaked in epson salt. I have tried gel pads. I am sure loosing a few pounds would help, which is the goal. Approx 5 years ago I fractured the sesamoid bone in that foot and have hardware in my ankle from an accident 15 years prior. Before I call to the podiatrist, does anyone have an suggestions or home remedies? Thanks in advance! Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maizie88 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Pain under the ball of the foot is typically 'metatarsalgia'. Resting your foot on a cold compress will help a lot with easing the pain and drawing down any inflammation. Do this especially after being on your feet. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maizie88 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that on a consistent basis and see if it help! Any luck so far? Getting some of the pain under control? I went through the same thing so know what you are going through. Pain anywhere on the bottom of the feet is terrible.

burnsie Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hi Maizie88, I have it mostly under control but putting some gel pads under the insole of my shoes. Thanks for asking! Maizie88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammielawson Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm having the same issue with pain on the ball of my left foot all the way to my knee. Any recommendations on gel pads (brand)? Have you tried the metatarsal sleeve? Just wondering if it's worth purchasing. I'm on W2D2 but sidelined until my knee pain subsides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maizie88 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I posted a link awhile back on the products I used to treat my foot...but don't remember the thread. I'm always a little nervous of posting links, but I really do want the world to know, as it got me back walking without a limp. Here's info about metatarsalgia and what I used: http://kingbrand.com/Metatarsalgia-Treatment.php?REF=46PV179.254 It took me a month and half and it's never come back I used the ColdCure Foot wrap and BFST Wrist wrap (easier to wrap around that area of foot), and I taped it for 2-3 weeks. Wishing you all the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
