Hi everyone, I am suffering from Metatarsalgia. I was having severe pain in my foot. After diagnosis doctor said that it may be because of my overweight and my age. But when my child looked at my legs, he found that I am having a high arch. When I told this to my doctor he said about trying a custom orthotics from a clinic in Thornhill . I am totally confused whether to have this custom orthotics or not. I heard that applying ice to the area several times a day, each time for 15 to 20 minutes with the ice wrapped can help in reduction of the pain! Keeping pressure off the feet, and keeping the feet up when resting are another method to reduce my pain! I am doing it right now, but my pain is not reducing. So, is wearing the custom orthotics only way to reduce the pain? The pain is really making me mad. I think I may fall into depression. Is there any other way I can get relief from the pain? I will be nice If you can help me with different practice that I can try to reduce my pain!
