Capsulitis is a painful condition that involves inflammation of the ligaments located at the bottom of your foot. This issue often arises from trauma or structural abnormalities that can overstretch the ligaments connecting your toe bones to the metatarsal bones. High heels, ill-fitting shoes, and repetitive activities that put stress on your toes, like climbing ladders, are common culprits.
