What is Morton's Neuroma?

Today we are going to discuss Morton’s Neuroma, a common foot pathology we address at Foot Solutions. A Morton’s Neuroma is an inflamed nerve causing pain in the ball of the foot, usually occurring between the 3rd and 4th toes, but the second and third toes can also be affected. Constant irritation typically causes the nerve to become inflamed. The nerve can become irritated when the foot is cramped in a shoe that is too tight or too flexible. Overuse can also cause the nerve to be inflamed and activities that generally irritate the nerve include going up and down hills or stairs, squatting, and any type of running or jumping. Some people will complain of deep achy pain, others complain of a constant burning sensation located in the ball of the foot. There can be radiating pain, electrical pain, or numbness. The pain is typically worse with standing and walking and usually relieved by non-weight bearing or rest. Many people will describe the feeling of their sock bunched up under their foot or feeling of walking on a lump or a ball.
