About the symptom
Sole pain may affect either or both soles. The sole is the bottom of the foot and may be due to many causes such as bone, tendon or muscle injury, cuts and bruises. The pain may be pressing, sharp or dull in nature. Sometimes, it may feel like a tearing pain.
Possible causes
- Hallux valgus
Hallux valgus or a bunion is bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe when the big toe pushes against the next toe. Tight shoes, foot stress and arthritis are common causes. It can lead to deformity.
Morton's neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a painful condition that affects the ball of your foot, between the third and fourth toes. It is a result of swollen and inflammed nerves leading to the toes of your foot. It is most often caused by shoes that are too tight or have high heels. These shoes can cause the nerves in your foot to be compressed and irritated.
