What Causes Pain In Toe After Falling A Metatarsal Head?
I have a fallen metatarsal head in my right foot 2nd toe. I have seen a foot doctor about it as it hurts enough to have stopped me from running. I am in pain most of the time and am currently wearing a toe separator since my second toe is now leaning to my first and have begun wearing DANSCO shoe. I am also a hairstylist so I stand all day. Is there a fix for this problem or do i need to just adjust my lifestyle to prevent pain?

It looks that most probably you may having fracture or ligament injury .Both of them needs some time (At least 3 weeks ) for recovery. With present treatment You may also do following to have relief-
-Take a good analgesic like aspirin,ibuprofen or paracetamol.
-Do warm water fomentation over affected area, at least 3 times a day.
-Do not bear weight over affected limb ,at least for 3 weeks.
