I woke up this morning with really bad ball of foot pain
I have had this twice in my life here is my story…
First time was caused by walking around for ages in winter at night on ice in cheap ordinary shoes. The BAD pain lasted 2-3 months then gradually went away
Second time was caused by wearing cheap shoes which had metal studs coming through though still padded. I only found out when someone examined the shoes carefully & pointed it out. Binned them
Hope you get better soon 🙂
