  If you sometimes feel that you are „walking on a marble,” and you have persistent pain in the ball of your foot (forefoot), you may have a condition called Morton’s neuroma. […] Morton’s neuromas are around 8 times more common in women than men and typically affect people between the ages of 30 and 60, though they can occur outside of this age range as well. […] You should seek evaluation from an orthopaedic surgeon if you have continued pain or discomfort in your forefoot. […] Initial management of a Mortons neuroma typically involves one or more of the following: Changes in footwear. Avoid high heels and tight, narrow shoes; choose wider shoes (i.e., a wide toe box) with lower heels and a soft sole. This enables the bones to spread out and may reduce pressure on the nerve, giving it time to heal.

  Morton’s neuroma is where there’s a thickening of tissue around a nerve in your foot that’s been irritated or damaged. The symptoms can often be eased with treatments you can try yourself. […] If you go to a GP, they’ll usually suggest you try these things first: rest and raise your foot when you can, hold an ice pack (or bag of frozen peas) in a towel on the painful area for up to 20 minutes every few hours, take ibuprofen or paracetamol, wear wide, comfortable shoes with a low heel and soft sole, use soft insoles or pads you put in your shoes, try to lose weight if you’re overweight, avoid or reduce impact activities such as running and jumping. […] A GP can look at your foot to see if it’s Morton’s neuroma and refer you to a foot specialist if they think you need further treatment. […] Treatments from a foot specialist, such as a podiatrist or foot and ankle surgeon, may include specially made soft pads or insoles to take pressure off the painful area of your foot, non-surgical treatments such as using heat to treat the nerve (radiofrequency ablation), steroid or alcohol injections, or foot surgery if you have very severe symptoms or other treatments are not working. […] If you think you have Morton’s neuroma, you might be able to refer yourself directly to services for help with your condition without seeing a GP.

  https://bregmanfance.com/things-you-should-know-about-mortons-neuroma-and-its-treatment-copy/

  Morton’s Neuroma is a condition marked by the swelling and scarring of nerves between the metatarsal bones. It affects the forefoot, the part between the metatarsal bones and toes. Therefore, it’s also known as intermetatarsal neuroma. Usually, the patient experiences swollen nerves between the toes, which affects the spaces between the foot. The neuroma can be excruciatingly painful, making it difficult for the patients to move. It is crucial to get the neuroma treated before it becomes worse leading to permanent nerve damage. […] Diagnosis: Usually an Ultrasound or a physical examination is enough to diagnose Morton’s Neuroma and its severity. […] Treatment: When it comes to Dr Bregman’s treatment, he is one of the best Morton’s Neuroma treatment specialists in the world. Generally, he prefers combining treatments based on the severity or mildness of the Neuroma. The basic treatment consists of: Injections

  The London Podiatry Centre would generally recommend an opinion from our Centre in order to establish a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. If not tried, conservative care will always be recommended and examples include: […] There is no doubt that certain shoes can benefit patients whilst others will aggravate the condition. It is by no coincidence that approximately 80% of neuroma sufferers are women and this is likely to be the result of footwear. Shoes that may help symptoms include Fit Flops, particularly during the summer months and many patients can remain symptom-free with this type of sandal. Shoes which incorporate a degree of memory foam may be beneficial and here various commercial brands are available. Slip-on shoes by nature of their design are usually tighter and more likely to irritate. It is also important to consider shoes which are not too flat. A shoe with a slight heel raise, of no more than 1cm, can reduce tension on the forefoot although excessively high heels will have an adverse effect and would likely irritate a Morton’s neuroma.

  Morton’s neuroma is where there’s a thickening of tissue around a nerve in your foot that’s been irritated or damaged. The symptoms can often be eased with treatments you can try yourself. […] If you go to a GP, they’ll usually suggest you try these things first: rest and raise your foot when you can, hold an ice pack (or bag of frozen peas) in a towel on the painful area for up to 20 minutes every few hours, take ibuprofen or paracetamol, wear wide, comfortable shoes with a low heel and soft sole, use soft insoles or pads you put in your shoes, try to lose weight if you’re overweight, avoid or reduce impact activities such as running and jumping. […] A GP can look at your foot to see if it’s Morton’s neuroma and refer you to a foot specialist if they think you need further treatment. […] Treatments from a foot specialist, such as a podiatrist or foot and ankle surgeon, may include specially made soft pads or insoles to take pressure off the painful area of your foot, non-surgical treatments such as using heat to treat the nerve (radiofrequency ablation), steroid or alcohol injections, or foot surgery if you have very severe symptoms or other treatments are not working.

• #65 Foods to Eat and Morton’s Neuroma

  https://www.palmbeachfootcare.com/blogs/item/121-foods-to-eat-and-morton-s-neuroma

  A neuroma is defined as a tumor or growth. The most common one is known as Mortons neuroma and it affects the nerves between the third and fourth toes. Research has indicated that it may be beneficial to consume a diet that is healthy for the nerves. This can include eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Additionally, eating foods that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids may positively affect the nerves. It is helpful to avoid foods and drinks that are made with large amounts of sugar and reducing the amount of alcohol may strengthen the nerves. Relief may be found when wearing comfortable shoes and it is important to refrain from wearing high heels. Some patients choose to wear orthotics and this may lessen the pressure felt from the neuroma. If the neuroma grows in size, surgery may be necessary for permanent removal and lasting comfort. If you have Mortons neuroma, it is suggested to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist who can diagnose and treat this ailment.

  Surgery may be considered when other treatments do not effectively alleviate symptoms. The two primary surgical options for Morton’s Neuroma are release surgery and removal surgery. […] Recovery duration varies depending on the type of surgery performed. In cases of release surgery, since there are no stitches on the bottom of the foot, patients may resume walking shortly after the procedure. Conversely, removal surgery typically requires crutches post-operatively due to stitches on the foot’s underside. […] If you suspect you have Morton’s Neuroma, contact your healthcare provider for evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment can help avert surgery. To help prevent Morton’s Neuroma, consider modifying activities to reduce repetitive stress on your feet. Opt for low-heeled shoes with wide toe boxes, and use padding or orthotics as recommended by your doctor.

  When your toes are squeezed together, often over a period of months or even years, the nerve that runs between the toes can swell and get thicker. This is called a Morton’s neuroma. It may feel like a small lump is pushing inside the ball of your foot. When you walk or move your toes, you feel pain that sometimes moves into your toes. If the pressure continues, it may damage the nerve. […] If you catch the problem early and change your shoes, the nerve swelling may go away. Your doctor may advise you to wear wide-toed shoes. Your doctor also may suggest that you ice the sore spot and limit activities that put pressure on the nerve. […] Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety.

If the pressure continues, it may damage the nerve. […] If you catch the problem early and change your shoes, the nerve swelling may go away. Your doctor may advise you to wear wide-toed shoes. Your doctor also may suggest that you ice the sore spot and limit activities that put pressure on the nerve. […] Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It’s also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

  Morton neuroma is best managed non-surgically with an interprofessional team of healthcare professionals, including a podiatrist, orthopedic surgeon, sports physician, nurse practitioner, and primary care provider. The patient may require pain medications, but the key is changes in shoe wear. The nurse should encourage the patient to wear appropriate, well-padded, non-constrictive shoewear. Obese patients may benefit from weight loss, so a dietary consult is appropriate. The patient may benefit from physical therapy and the use of warm compresses and ice to ease the pain. […] Most patients with Morton neuroma have a good recovery with non-surgical treatment. A few patients may require surgery if the neuroma is localized and can be excised. However, even after surgery, the recurrence rate of neuroma and/or pain is very high. The key is to change footwear and lose weight.

  Several studies have shown that a combination of shoe changes, oral anti-inflammatory medications, orthotics, and/or cortisone injections will provide relief in more than 80% of people with Morton’s neuroma. If conservative treatment does not relieve your symptoms, or if symptoms return, you may require surgery. […] Surgery involves either removing a small portion of the nerve including the neuroma or releasing the tissue around the nerve to decompress it. It is an outpatient procedure, meaning the patient can go home the same day as surgery. Patients may be immobilized for 1-2 weeks to allow for healing of the incision, and then transitioned to regular shoes as tolerated.
