Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in the ball of foot . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cons and callus , bursitis , injury, diabetic neuropathy , gout , plantar fasciitis , rheumatoid arthritis or tendinitis . Injruy with stone under the foot can also cause such symptoms .I would suggest you to put your foot in hot water tub with epsom salt in it for 15 minutes daily , do not wear shoe for few days , do gentle massage with flax seed oil and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory along with recommend physical therapy . Doctor may also refer you to podiatrist , who may recommend orthotic device after careful examination. .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
