Three years later I have started experiencing pain in the 5th metatarsal when I walk periodically. On days that I tend to walk a lot, I will sometimes have to limp and my ankle mildly swells.
I was wondering if these two symptoms are connected in some way. Also, is there any way to fix this current problem or is it just something I need to live with because of my error three years ago?
Thank you.

I was hit hard on my right jaw decades ago and noticed that whenever I have pain or other localized health issues, it's always on the right side. All tightened muscles are also on the right side. I have an inflamed nerve between my 2nd and 3rd metatarsals. When I get any kind of massage or realignment such as at the chiropractor or simply spreading my second and third toe, my jaw relaxes and I hear cracking/popping sounds. I have to wonder if the issues on the right could be related to the jaw injury.
However, my body parts are slightly smaller on the right as well--feet, face, etc. It's not noticeable to others unless I point it out, but it's measurable. Curious about the potential connection. The xray of my foot show the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal bones very close together, practically touching on my right foot.

What exercises can I do to correct a dropped metatarsal bone? My second toe is beginning to overlap my big toe, but there is no pain on the bottom of my foot.
Thank you

Ball of foot pain / metatarsalgia
The ball of my foot is so painful. I have tried many products on the market (think I own most all of them) and still no relief. I recently called a Chiropractor who said he could help me; that is, until I went in to see him. Within seconds he decided he was not the right person for the job.
I dance about 9 hours a week and have all different type of dance shoes/sneakers and still no relief.
Just don't know where to turn but do not want to give up my dancing. I did have a stress fracture in my ankle years ago and also have supports for plantar fascitis. Age is against me too (61 years old).
I plan to buy some RockTape suggested by a friend who uses it. She is going to show me how to wrap my foot with this. Do I go to a foot doctor (been there, done that a few times), a surgeon, another Chiropractor that might truly help me? Hope you have some advice on what I should do.
I also use a footsie roller and try to massage my feet.
I live in Waltham, MA if that helps you on where to direct me. Sure wish they had foot replacement surgery like they do with knees and hips. I dance for my health and it is killing me! Thanks for any advice you can share with me.
