What is a “met pad? I have been having pain on one foot near where my toes and ball of the foot meet. My primary do tor had an xray taken which didn’t show any fractures. My second toe was misshapen. She thought it might be a hammer toe. I just saw a podiatrist today who diagnosed neuromas in 3 spots. He said the treatment is a series of 2 steroid shots. I would bot be able to jog for a day or so. I decided i wanted to think about it before getting the shots. I asked about some type of pad. A number of years ago, i had pain on the ball of my left big toe and the doctor recommended a toe pad that he said ballet dancers use. I used that for about a year and have not had any problems since then . I would like to try to find something similar to use for my current problem.

Answering your question:
Metatarsal pads (met pads for short), provide pain relieving support to your metatarsal bones. Forefoot pain that can be addressed with met pads is primarily caused by, metatarsalgia, bursitis of the feet, rheumatoid arthritis, *neuromas * and plantar warts.
A “met pad” solved my neuroma problem, but I don’t remember which brand I bought. Try one or two available locally or online….best thing would be if your podiatrist gave you a few to try and showed you where to position them.
