Re: Metatarsalgia

I would start with taking comparison X-rays of both feet. If that was inconclusive, then either a diagnostic ultrasound or MRI.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that he may have a sesamoid problem. Without examining him, I am guessing. Depending on the severity, treatment can range from a dancer's pad to immobilization in a cast brace.

You might want to get another opinion.

The proprietary gel also provides extra protective padding to help comfort the pain caused by metatarsal soreness. May be used for relieving the burning sensation under the metatarsal heads, calluses and tarsal fat pads.
