Painful Spot on Ball of Foot Posted: 03-24-08 11:02am
About 2 weeks into basketball practice i
started to have this pain in the ball of
my foot. It felt as though something
needed to pop. After the pain didnt go
away i rubbed on my foot and on the inside
edge of the ball of my foot(pad behind the
big toe) i have calus there as well but
when i rubbed on it i felt something roll
around and felt pain. I have also had it
just start aching while sitting doing
nothing. I also have something similar to
this on my other foot outside edge of the
heal. Any idea what this could be?

You might have some kind of fracture.
These injuries are common with sports like
basketball. I would go get X-rayed
immediately. Fractures can get worse and
turn into full on breaks if you are
putting pressure on it.
