Intractable dubious metatarsalgia diagnosis

Today's episode comes from one of the Doc On The Run YouTube viewers.   Casey wrote in and he said,  “This year I suffered from this problem after switching to zero drop running shoes and I was finally running pain free. The zero drop running shoes made me into a forefoot runner instead of a heel striker. I was doing great but then I started having pain in the ball of my foot from a callus. I then started having this pain and I did exactly what you said to do in this video and it worked great and specifically this video showing how to remove a callus in a specific way with a specific technique.” He also said, “Great information here, everything I was researching kept saying it was metatarsalgia but my pain was different. Thank you for the great video.” Many runners get unfairly stuck with a metatarsalgia diagnosis.  What is the intractable dubious metatarsalgia diagnosis?  Well, that's what we're talking about today but the Doc On The Run Podcast.
