Metatarsalgia is a non-specific term for pain in the forefoot. It is a very common over-use injury and is very common in athletes of high-impact sports. These sports usually include a lot of running and jumping.

The primary symptom of metatarsalgia is pain at the ball of the foot. It usually becomes more painful when walking or running. The pain usually comes on slowly over the course of a few months.
