Neuromas
Neuromas occur when a nerve, or the tissue surrounding the nerve, becomes enlarged and inflamed. One symptom is a burning or tingling sensation. Another symptom is cramping in the front of your foot. This condition can be caused by:

Tight, poorly fitting shoes
Injury, especially repetitive pounding of the feet
Arthritis
Abnormal bone structure
Morton neuroma is the most common neuroma of the foot. It develops when the metatarsal bones in the middle toes pinch the nerve that runs between them.

Stress Fracture
A stress fracture in your foot usually occurs in one of the five metatarsal bones. It is most common in the second or third. These fractures are caused by overuse during strenuous exercise, particularly running and other high-impact aerobic sports.

Sesamoiditis
Sesamoiditis is a condition involving the sesamoid bones. These are small bones under the head of the first metatarsal bone (at the base of the big toe). The sesamoid bones carry a great amount of weight. The bones and tissues around them can become inflamed and irritated. Sesamoiditis injuries are common among people who do high-impact activities. These include ballet dancing, running, and aerobic exercise.

Metatarsalgia
When a cause cannot be determined, any pain in the ball of the foot is generally referred to as metatarsalgia . It is most likely caused by poor footwear or by high-impact activities. People with a high arched foot are more likely to develop metatarsalgia.
