Hey everyone,
I have been running recently and have noticed that the balls of my feet, especially right below my big toes are hurting pretty badly. Has anyone else had this issue or know what it might be? Any suggestions on treatment? I really enjoy running, but the pain is not helping at all!

    How many miles do you have on your running shoes?

    Probably your shoes are dead. Eventually the cushioning material gets compacted and stops working. When you get shoes at your local running store, be sure to point out the problem you are having as it will help them with finding the right shoe.

    Aside from shoes most likely being the cause, for treatment, like most things, try an ice pack to reduce the inflammation and give it some rest to let it heal up before you go out and hop repeatedly on it again (i.e. running.)
