What Causes Soreness On The Front Part Of The Foot?
The front part of my foot, at the head of my first metatarsal is really sore. The only way I can think of how this happened was from playing tennis, but I didn t have any real pain until yesterday. There s no bruising that I can see, but pulling my toes back hurts quite a bit, more so than pushing them forward. The pain is centralised and doesn t affect any of my other toes. Putting weight on it also hurts.. Is there a need to get this looked at? eg xrays? Could this be a stress fracture or does it sound more like it s just bruised?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a stress fracture.
I suggest to do an xray for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest to use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also recommend using cold compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
