ball of foot pain

I have had pain on the ball of my right foot. I am a nurse and have been out of work since Dec. 31. I am on my feet 8-12 hours a day 3 days a week. My podiatrist and I have tried taped padding of the foot. I am now using metatarsal pads in my shoes, and today he put a walking air cast on to relieve the pressure. In your opinion what would be the next step ie. cortisone? of treatment.

    Has your doctor mentioned a neuroma or capsulitis or stress fracture?Have you had a diagnostic ultrasound?Without seeing your foot, I can not say what would be next for certain. A cortisone injection might be a possibility, if this is not a stress fracture.
