Pain in the ball of the foot is simply called Metatarsalgia. Pain and inflammation occur in the ball of the foot for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons involve strenuous activity like running and jumping. Shoes that are too tight or too loose can also develop the same pain and inflammation.
