Morton's Neuroma
Medically Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD on June 15, 2020
What Is Morton's Neuroma? Morton’s neuroma, also called intermetatarsal neuroma, is the thickening of tissue in your toe. This tissue is next to a nerve. Pressure against the nerve irritates it and causes pain. You might be walking along and feel a pain near the ball of your foot, like there’s a little pebble inside your shoe. The pain usually crops up between your third and fourth toes. ( That’s counting the big toe as the first.) Women are more likely than men to get Morton’s neuroma. Why?
