Morton's Neuroma
Morton's Neuroma is a painful condition that affects the foot, specifically the area between the toes. It occurs when the tissue surrounding a nerve leading to the toes thickens, often due to irritation or compression. This can result in sharp, burning pain, tingling, or numbness in the affected area, typically between the third and fourth toes.
The exact cause of Morton's Neuroma is not always clear, but it can be linked to factors such as wearing tight shoes, high-impact activities, or foot deformities like bunions or flat feet. Treatment options include changing footwear, using orthotics, or in some cases, injections or surgery.
