Q: I have a pain at the base of my foot,it has a callous there that make the pain bad
Thanks for your question. You should talk to your doctor about the problem, as only he or she has the ability to properly diagnose what the problem may be. For some background information on what the problem may be, try using this symptom checker. But remember that it is no substitute for the attention of a medical professional. I hope this helps.
Tony, I have had several foot operations for various reasons. One of the first ones was for nueromas (nerve pain). I also get callouses on both feet. I try to use a method of carefully removing the callous once a week. Be sure to check that you don't have a wart. I had one right in the center of ball of foot and was a killer. This can be treated. I still get the callous but I can sand that down. Good Luck
