### input:
Hello, I am experience a strange sensation in the ball of my foot, between 1st and 2nd toes. It feels like I have a ball in my foot. It does not hurt until the end of the day and still just uncomfortable. Sometimes the top of my foot hurts quite badly. This all started about a month ago. Is this something I could take care of at home? Doesn t really hurt enough to go to the Dr., just annoying.

### output:

Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned the pain is in the foot and also close to the first and second toe. It will be good if we take an x-ray to check out. Also, a urine test to figure out if it is indicating any particular injury. There is a possibility of anything but to mention a few -1. Stress fracture.2. Gouty arthritis3. Lumbar disc herniation4. Inflammation of the fascia, etc this are just few to mention. But to take care at home you need to first do hot water fermentation as it will improve the blood supply and dilate the pain from there. Post doing Hot water fermentation you can do some exercises for the feet like - picking the marbles from the floor with toes, picking the bits of paper, performing ankle toe movements as well. If the pain is subsided by this some home care activities it is well and good. Incase if it is not subsided than you need to a urine test, an x-ray and later if required an MRI. The better the sooner. Prevention is better than cure. Also see if you have any issues with the footwear. In fact most of the time the gait cycle can reveal that on what aspect of the foot you are applying too much weight. Well, I hope I have answered your query I feel. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recoveryRegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
