Brief Answer:
Can be due to arthritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in metatarsal joints that you have can be related to arthritis or low calcium levels or vitamin D3 levels or due to flat foot. Proper examination and a few investigations are needed to find the exact cause. For such mild pains, mild pain killers, rest and calcium supplements are usually helpful.
Shoe inserts may be needed in case it is related to flat feet.
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.
