Anyone dealing with or have dealt with metatarsal inflammation? I seem to have gotten past the pain but still experiencing swelling and odd feelings in my pad and toes. Anyone have something that worked for them? Is there a complete recovery from it or just a long recovery time like plantar fasciitis? Not experiencing bad pain but feel like it's affecting my form. Any thoughts welcome

I've just recently had an issue. Icing, ibuprofen, and calf stretches seem to help, as do the Superfeet blue insoles that I used to wear for ankle issues but haven't used in some time. For now, I'm even using the stiffer insoles for walking around. Like you, I'm hoping it goes away relatively quickly.
