Ball Of Right Foot Painful. Wore Heels For Dancing. How To Relieve Pain?
Hi
The ball of my right foot is very painful for a few years now. I used to wear high heels especially for dancing, now I'm wearing boots with arch supports, which is very good but I would like to wear shoes again. but then I can not wear the arch supports. Please help. I'm a very active 66 year old. I exercise daily and dance twice a week.
