i don't know if this is just lyme or not so here goes.
i hav started walking trying to keep some of this weight off, and keep in some kind of shape.
one day, i felt a terible sharp stabbing pain on the right side of my foot above the little toe.i looked it up and it's the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones that hurt.
i cannot press on the top of the foot above the little toe and the toe next to it, it really hurts.
walking hurts and causes a stinging sensation in that foot.
i have a huge, and i mean, huge bunion on the large toe which stays very red and irritated.
so basically, my feet are a mess.
could all this walking and using my gazelle caused a stress fracture or is this just lyme???
my feet also burn.

Time for trip to foot doc. He may check for Mortons Neuroma!! Sounds like you may have plantar facisitis(sp) too. Or maybe just Bart???hope it heals,--just don--

i have a pair of mephistoes for walking. they're great.
i just bought a new pair of new balance and they feel very comfortable.
i have an extremely wide foot.
my two small toes just really hurt.....

I also get the stabbing pain on little toe side of my foot. X-rays showed no fracture, pain is gone now, I have attributed it to the lyme. MD gave me muscle relaxer, it did not help much, I have just resorted to gritting my teeth when it occurs.
Good luck with yours

I know I am weird ,,,but for me foot pain is directly related to diet somewhat. Always worst when I eat Potatoes, Tomatoes,,too many crackers,,, and alot of bread!! Seems related to "ME". but IB --just don--
