    I am curious, everytime I go to physicians office they press on the ball of my feet and ask if I have pain. I do have pain in my left foot below big toe, center of the ball of the foot. I have had heart problems in the past and have 7 stents. why do the physicians (cardiologist) always press on the ball of my feet?

    As you say it happens every time you go to the doctor, why not ask the doctor instead of wondering? I never fail to be amazed how many patients would rather ask others the questions that can best and sometimes only be answered by their own doctors.

    I hardly think that offering good advice on how best to have ones concerns meaningful addressed from a position of full knowledge of the facts rather than mere guess should be construed as ridicule. If you do, then perhaps you have no real interest in the poster obtain the best answer.

    I have pain on the ball of my left foot (like a internal bruise) and can't remember bruising it. But 5 days ago I had increased my work out to include interval running and found that my shins hurt at night. I haven't exercised since, could shin splints have anything to do with the pain on the ball of my foot?

    Not directly in all likelihood, but the same trauma that caused the shin splints also may have caused the pain in the ball of the foot . . but maybe not.
