Thank you for this great explanation. It's always wonderful shedding light onto such ignored topics.

I had Morton's neuroma two years ago. I resolved it by changing to wide toe shoes (all my shoes must be comfortable and wide), rolling the bottoms of my feet with a tennis ball every night for 5-10 minutes, increasing my daily steps/walking to minimum 5 miles/day, and most importantly doing my best to reduce my stress levels overall.

I had this for years and my GP insisted it was gout and treated me like that. Eventually a new doc sent me to an orthopedic doc. Gave me an injection to "kill" the nerve and I walked out pain free!

I am recovering from Morton’s neuroma now. I can only pray it works because the pain can be debilitating and excruciating.

I went on a 12 mile run in the snow two days ago and I am pretty sure I have this now. For like a day it really freaked me out. No pain, just about 30 or 40% of my foot is numb.

I always have this ball like feeling at the exact position and it hurts when I applied deep pressure. I always wondered why it is so. Now I know the medical term. It's been years since I have this problem. I am relieved finally knowing what it is.
thanks.

What are the EXPECTED/KNOWN side effects of removing with surgery this neuroma…? Thank you!

[Gerilady]

I've got this, had it for a few yrs now and just found out a year ago I had it. Hurts like hell and all they gave me was Lyrica for the pain.

Hi, please could you consider T.B. for a video?
We have many patients with various disease sites. London still has a T.B. problem, especially among the homeless and migrant populations. This disease is as old as humans and is still a global threat to life and health.

[rustybulletstmm]

I dont know if I have this but nothing seems to solve it. Its depressing as hell.

[prsp]

thank you so much - would you consider producing a pharmacology/ prescribing resource. Just a suggestion haha!!!

[Emannnn]

But how weight loss, when we can't walk and run because it hurts
Can someone explain?

[C-Dub]

What about Physical Therapy to improve the Biomechanics of the foot 🙄.

[superatlit]

That's painful, i got it between 2nd and 3rd and between 3rd and 4th metatarsals.

I’m 29 I’ve had it since I was 21-22 I’m athletic so I never make a big fuss, but it is a very annoying discomfort.
