    I've had that and metatarsal problems for 4 years now. What helped me were shoes with better support or orthotics if you have insurance/can afford that. Physiotherapy has really helped, too!

    Several things you can do to help, but it'll take time, won't be an instant cure. I developed this last winter and the only things that helped me were buying orthotic shoes, and shoe inserts for proper arch support. It took me several tries to find the ones that worked best for me. I also did stretches (google) and bought a special splint to wear at night to help. It took me several months to get back to normal. And i'll never wear a shoe again without proper arch support. Now I can happily say I am pain free. Good luck!

    Here's a site with some helpful info:

    Seconding the previous post. I now have proper foot beds with arch support in all my boots and do the stretches I found on Google. If I wear boots without the support it starts to come back. It took several months to go and all new shoes have decent arch support.
