A neuroma is a benign growth of nerve tissue that can develop in various parts of the body, often occurring in response to nerve injury or irritation. The most common type is called a Morton's neuroma, which typically forms between the toes, causing pain and discomfort in the foot. Neuromas can result from repetitive stress, trauma, or conditions like diabetes. Symptoms of a neuroma may include sharp pain, tingling, or numbness in the affected area. Diagnosis usually involves a physical examination and imaging tests, such as ultrasound or MRI. Treatment options range from conservative measures, like rest and orthotics, to more invasive procedures, including injections or surgery.
