Forefoot Pain
The forefoot is the part of the foot in front of the ankle consisting of groups of bones that include the metatarsals (five long bones in the forefoot) and phalanges (the bones that make up the toes). There are many medical issues that can arise in this region due to trauma, overuse, or other factors. Forefoot pain can range from mild pain causing a slight limp to severe pain that prevents walking.
Forefoot pain can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
- Bunions
- Corns
- Hammertoes
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome
- Flat feet
