Morton's Neuroma

A neuroma is a condition in which the nerve leading up to the toes becomes thickened and inflamed. This will cause the nerve to get impinged between the metatarsal bones, eliciting painful symptoms. This can cause a sharp, burning pain to the ball of the foot, as well as, to the corresponding toes. Patients may also experience numbness or tingling and frequently relate that it feels like they are walking on a pebble in their shoe or that there is a fold in their sock. 

A Morton's neuroma specifically involves the space between the 3rd and 4th toes, which is the most common location for this problem. High-heeled shoes or tight, narrow shoes are often contributed to the development of a neuroma. Individuals with high-arched feet or flat feet are at increased risk for developing a neuroma. 

Treatment includes using shoes with a wider toe box, padding, NSAIDs, cortisone injections, and sometimes surgery. If you are experiencing any pain in the ball of your foot that is not improving it is important that you seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.
