How Can Arthritic Heel Pain With Toe Spaces Be Treated?

I have pain on the bottom of my foot, specifically the ball of my foot. I m 53 years of age. If it s arthritis, what type of treatment is recommended. Or could it be some sort of bone spur? I had the same pain about a year ago and a podiatrist didn t see anything other than perhaps some arthritis around the big toe of the same foot. Now I notice that there is a space between my middle toe and second smallest toe; I m not sure if it s from walking funny, or if there is some physical object causing it to spread apart. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.

Thanks for querry..

It may be due to many conditions

First you should go with xray of foot...AP and OBLIQUE view.... to know current status..

Then you should go for basic blood investigation like.... R.A factor... serum uric acid and ESR .. C.B.C ..RBS...and. S. Anticcp antibody... to know perfect etiology... it will work...
