I read your home remedy approach, and will do what you recommended. The pain just started a week ago, it does not hurt to run, only walk and if Im barefoot. How long does this condition last if I rest it, ice and take anti-inflammatories? thanks
This has been a helpful site, thanks. I’ve recently been diagnosed with MN in one foot and the doctor attached a metatarsal pad to my SuperFeet inserts, among other actions taken. I’d like to get more pads for the rest of my shoes but there are so many choices of style and fabric. Is there a style, fabric and/or source you recommend? Thanks!
