One cause of metatarsalgia is Morton's neuroma. When toes are squeezed together too often and for too long, the nerve that runs between the toes can swell and get thicker.

Plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain is a disorder of the plantar fascia, which is the connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot. [2] It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest.
Symptoms may be treated by wearing wider shoes to relieve pressure, or the patient can wear padding around the toes.

In this procedure, the short metatarsal is typically cut and a piece of bone is grafted between the two ends.

Physical examination: Assessment of pain, swelling, and range of motion in the affected foot. Radiography: X-rays may reveal flattening, sclerosis, or fragmentation of the metatarsal head. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Provides detailed images of soft tissue and bone changes, particularly useful in early stages of the disease.
