Sometimes if I overdo it with exercise, I get a bone spur. Mine are usually on the heel; but it is possible to get them on the ball of your feet. There are some over the counter shoe inserts you can get to help ease foot pain...whether it is bone spur, plantar fasciatis, overexercise or from wearing heels. You can take ibuprofen and if you ice it a frozen water bottle to roll your foot over works well. Wearing shoes with good arch supports, inserts, etc. for most of the day instead of dress shoes, flats, heels, etc. There are even some exercises that might help. Alternate pointing, flexing for a count of ten with making circles with your feet. Also, rolling your foot over a tennis ball. HTH.
