bruised ball of foot?

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve had pain that extends from the ball of my foot towards the front part of the arch of my foot.
Mostly when walking or flexing my foot.
It seems to be related to something connected to the 2nd toe (main pain is right where the ball of my foot, at the crease, meets the arch).
I have been unable to find any remedy for this.
Any suggestions?
I currently wear custom orthotics, but they do not seem to be helping.
