Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pulsating pain in the ball of the foot can be due to flat foot or metatarsalgia. This happens due to an inflammation in the area. Rest hot compress and mild pain killers can provide a temporary relief.
You will need to consult an orthopedician for proper examination and prescription medicines in case this does not help.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
