Morton’s neuroma is a noncancerous or benign development of nerve tissue that grows in the foot. It normally grows in the middle of the third and fourth toes and is a common, tender, and painful condition.
People with Morton’s neuroma might feel that they are standing on a stone. This is due to the stiffening of the tissue all over one nerve, leading to the toes. Thus, it can cause burning, sharp pain in the padded portion of your foot. Also, your toes might feel numb or sting.
High-heeled sandals have been associated with the growth of Morton’s neuroma. Many individuals experience comfort by changing to normal shoes or sandals with wide toe caps. However, occasionally, corticosteroids or surgery might be needed.
