What Is Morton’s Neuroma?
Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition caused by thickening of the tissue surrounding a nerve in the forefoot, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. This thickened tissue can compress the nerve, leading to irritation and inflammation.
Patients often experience sharp or burning pain in the ball of the foot, along with tingling or numbness that may radiate into the toes. Many describe the sensation as feeling like they are walking on a pebble or have something stuck in their shoe.
Morton’s neuroma is commonly associated with tight or narrow footwear, repetitive stress, or abnormal foot mechanics that increase pressure on the forefoot. Without treatment, symptoms may worsen over time and interfere with daily activities.
