- Morton's neuroma: A true neuroma is a benign tumor of the nerve. Runners characterize the pain caused by Morton's neuroma as a burning, stinging pain in the third and fourth toes. Other symptoms include: pain in the ball of the foot and numbness in the toes.
- Achilles Tendonitis: This ailment, often caused by the lack of flexibility, is an irritation or inflammation of the large tendon in the back of the lower calf that is attached to the heel.
- Stress Fracture: It's a fracture in your lower limbs, which is quite common among athletes. You may suffer from a stress fracture because of repetitive forces and symptoms, which include localized pain and swelling that worsens over time (days, weeks, or months).
Bunions: A deformity in the joint of the big toe that causes the toe to rub against footwear. With time, the toe bends towards the rest of the toes and may cause other issues, like Hallus Abducto Valgus, hammertoes, bursitis, arthritis, and corns and calluses.
