Brief Answer:
Can be metatarsalgia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain that you have can be due to metatarsalgia. This happens due to mild inflammation. It usually subsides with rest mild pain killers and a hot compress. You can avoid the painful activities and consult an orthopedician for stronger prescription medicines in case this does not help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
