Asked 3 years ago

Hi guys, the balls of my feet have been rather sore of late, and I wondered whether it could be due to fat pad atrophy. What are the symptoms thereof?

Pain in the heel is the most common symptom of fat pad atrophy. Usually, this pain is worse when walking barefoot, and with prolonged standing or activity. Also, it causes callus formation in the heel and you may be able to feel your heel bone through your heel on palpation.
