If you sometimes feel that you are "walking on a marble," and you have chronic pain in the ball of your foot, you may have a condition called Morton's neuroma.
Foot neuroma is an enlarged nerve that usually occurs in the third interspace, often between your third and fourth toes.
Foot neuroma occurs in a digital nerve in your foot, often between your third and fourth toes. Foot neuroma isn't a true tumor, but instead involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the digital nerves leading to your toes. Foot neuroma causes a sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot. Foot Neuroma may also cause numbness, tingling, or cramping in the forefoot.
Also called plantar neuroma or intermetatarsal neuroma, foot neuroma may occur in response to irritation, injury or pressure � such as from wearing tight fitting shoes. But it may also occur for unknown reasons. Symptoms of foot neuroma often occur during or after you have been placing significant pressure on the forefoot area, while walking, standing, jumping, or sprinting.
Treatments commonly involve changing footwear, resting your feet, and using arch supports or pads to help take pressure off the area. In some cases, your doctor may recommend anti-inflammatory drugs, a cortisone injection or even surgery.
The incidence of foot neuroma is 8 to 10 times greater in women than in men...
