Good morning this is Dr Mathur, foot and ankle surgeon practicing in Delhi NCR. If you have pain at the base of the fifth metatarsal, it means that you are bearing most of the weight on the outer border the foot. This may arise due to a high arch foot due to muscle imbalance. Stress fracture on the base of the first metatarsal is also a possibility. Thus a thorough clinical evaluation of your foot good weight bearing x rays of the foot and ankle will be helpful.
