Morton's Neuroma
Overview
Morton's Neuroma is enlarged nerve that usually occurs between the third and fourth toes, but a neuroma can also occur between the second and third toe.
The nerve lies in the subcutaneous tissue, just above the fat pad on the bottom of the foot between the metatarsal bones. The ground pushes up on the enlarged nerve with each step causing the nerve to be pinched between the metatarsal bones causing pain. The nerve normally gets bigger from the pinching and increases in pain as the problem gets worse.
Symptoms
The most common symptom is localized pain between the metatarsal bones on the bottom of the foot. It can be sharp and is worsened by shoes or walking. Many time people have shooting or throbbing pain when they are off
