[…] Finally, having pain around one or multiple metatarsal bones can lead to unconscious changes in gait, which can have a domino effect on the entire body, causing pain elsewhere in the foot, at the ankles or knees or even in the back.

[…] Signs and symptoms of a metatarsalgia include sensation of a lump under the foot, pain under the sole or ball of the foot, pain at the base of the toes, burning sensation, toe cramps, and electric shocks or numbness sensation in the toes. The pain may worsen when wearing high-heel shoes or thin soles and with physical activity. […] The longer the stress to the metatarsal region persists and the more intense it gets, the more the stabilizing structures get damaged and the less they’re able to support the toe. This is what can cause the toe to curve and irreversibly develop a hammertoe. Ultimately, a number of structures such as the plantar plate may suffer a partial or complete tear. […] Finally, having pain around one or multiple metatarsal bones can lead to unconscious changes in gait, which can have a domino effect on the entire body, causing pain elsewhere in the foot, at the ankles or knees or even in the back.
