  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. […] The most common symptom is pain or discomfort in the ball of the foot (the area between the arches and toes on the bottom of the foot). […] These are the most common symptoms: Persistent burning or sharp pain in the ball of the foot may radiate (spread out) into the toes, especially during weightbearing activities like running or walking. Night pain is rare. […] Patients frequently describe the sensation of having a pebble or marble under their forefoot as they walk.

• #2 Plantar Digital Neuroma (Morton’s Neuroma) | NHS Lanarkshire

  https://www.nhslanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk/services/podiatry/plantar-digital-neuroma/

  Mortons neuroma can be a painful condition that affects the nerves that runs between your toes in the ball of the foot. People between the ages of 35 and 60 are more prone to developing this condition but it can happen at any age, affecting women more than men. […] It develops because of irritation and thickening in the nerves that supply your toes, triggering pain and numbness. […] Unfortunately, as the nerve thickens, the pressure around the nerve can increase resulting in pain and numbness in your forefoot and toes. […] The pain usually starts in the ball of the foot and can spread into your toes. Burning, tingling or numbness between the affected toes may also be felt. Some people describe the pain like they are walking on a pebble or have a lump on their foot. Symptoms will be aggravated when wearing tight fitting footwear. Removing your shoes and massaging the area can often help relieve the pain.

• #3 Morton Neuroma – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470249/

  Morton neuroma is a compressive neuropathy of the interdigital nerve in the forefoot due to compression and constant irritation at the plantar aspect of the transverse intermetatarsal ligament. […] The most common symptoms are plantar pain between metatarsal heads that are aggravated by walking and wearing tight-fitting, high-heeled shoes and relieved by resting and removing shoes. Patients describe the pain as burning, stabbing, or tingling with electric sensations. Some patients describe the sensation as walking on a stone or marble. Numbness between the toes is present in less than half of the patients. With prolonged walking, the pain can radiate to the hindfoot or leg, causing cramps. […] Morton neuroma is common in the third interspace because it is narrower compared to other spaces. As the common digital nerve to the third space receives branches from both medial and lateral plantar nerves, it has increased thickness and is prone to compression and trauma. Trauma from a crush injury, penetrating injury, thickened transverse metatarsal ligament, enlarged bursa in the interspace, and repetitive trauma from running have all been linked to the development of Morton neuroma. The compression and repetitive trauma to the nerve results in vascular changes, endoneurial edema, and excessive bursal thickening leading to perineural fibrosis. […] 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.

• #4 Morton’s neuroma – Current concepts review

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7211826/

  Mortons neuroma is a common pathology affecting the forefoot. This degenerate tissue therefore causes localised pain and discomfort mainly on weight bearing. The classical description of a Mortons neuroma is paraesthesia within the affected digital nerve, accompanied by forefoot pain and is more commonly seen in females. The most common characteristic of the pain is burning in nature. The pain is often exacerbated by walking, use of tight or heeled shoes and is reported by runners due to the increased weight bearing through the forefoot. In chronic cases the pain could be constant. Night pain and rest pain is reported by about 25% of patients. […] The presence of a neuroma will not automatically cause the patient to experience the symptoms of a Mortons neuroma. The diagnosis of Mortons neuroma is relevant only when the transverse diameter on an MRI scan is 5 mm or more and can be correlated to clinical findings. The literature therefore suggests that size of the lesion does not always correlate with symptom severity, and although smaller neuromas will respond to steroid injections better than larger ones, patient reported outcome will improve for both with the injections.

  Initially, Mortons neuroma just causes occasional symptoms, often when you wear narrow shoes or engage in sustained activity. If the problem isnt addressed quickly, the nerve will get thicker and the symptoms wil get worse. You might start to feel like youre walking on a bump or your foot is clicking, even when youre barefoot. Pain can get worse and spread to the arch or top of your foot. Eventually, your nerve can so affected that you lose sensation between the affected toes. Some people experience permanent numbness in their toes. If the mass around the nerve gets too big, it can cause your toes to become crooked or spread apart. […] Mortons neuroma can cause inflammation of the natural cushion (bursa) between your metatarsal bones, leading to intermetatarsal bursitis. In addition, pain can lead to an unconscious change in gait, which can trigger symptoms elsewhere in your foot or in your leg, knee or back. The other foot may also develop problems as a result of compensating.

[…] Problems with shoe wear are common. […] High-heeled shoes, which put the foot in a similar position to the sprinters push-off, can aggravate the condition. […] Tight, narrow shoes also aggravate this condition by compressing the toe bones and pinching the nerve. […] You should seek evaluation from an orthopaedic surgeon if you have continued pain or discomfort in your forefoot. […] If your symptoms do not improve, or if they come back after nonsurgical treatment, your surgeon may recommend surgery to either remove the diseased portion of the nerve, or release tissue around the nerve. […] Surgery is often considered to be the most reliable form of treatment for a Morton’s neuroma, with many studies showing an 80 to 95% success rate.

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7211826/

  Mortons neuroma is a common pathology affecting the forefoot. This degenerate tissue therefore causes localised pain and discomfort mainly on weight bearing. The classical description of a Mortons neuroma is paraesthesia within the affected digital nerve, accompanied by forefoot pain and is more commonly seen in females. The most common characteristic of the pain is burning in nature. The pain is often exacerbated by walking, use of tight or heeled shoes and is reported by runners due to the increased weight bearing through the forefoot. In chronic cases the pain could be constant. Night pain and rest pain is reported by about 25% of patients. […] The presence of a neuroma will not automatically cause the patient to experience the symptoms of a Mortons neuroma. The diagnosis of Mortons neuroma is relevant only when the transverse diameter on an MRI scan is 5 mm or more and can be correlated to clinical findings. The literature therefore suggests that size of the lesion does not always correlate with symptom severity, and although smaller neuromas will respond to steroid injections better than larger ones, patient reported outcome will improve for both with the injections.
