What Does Pain In Feet While Walking On Hard Substance Indicate?

I sometimes (mostly if I go barefoot) feel a shot of pain like a nerve pinch in the bottom of my feet (ball right near my big toe and sometimes the toe next to my little toe) if I walk on a hard surface - it lasts for a bout 10minutes or so and is very hard to walk on. It feels like the padding on the bottom of the balls of my feet isn t padded enough or something.

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Good day, what you have is called Morton's Neuroma. It is a result of nerve fibers in your foot getting pinched. This gets tender and feels like you are walking on marbles. The remedies are :
1. Anti inflammatory medications like ibuprofen
2. Change your shoes to more padded ones.
3. Take a break from things like jogging if you do,
4. Steroid injections to affected area.
5. Surgery to decompress the nerve.
6. Surgical removal of the nerve

I hope this answers your question. Good luck and feel free to direct any more questions to me.
