Content: It most commonly occurs in middle-aged people, especially middle-aged women. What are the symptoms? Pain, often intermittent, is the main symptom of Morton’s neuroma. It may feel like a burning pain in the ball or your foot or like you’re standing on a marble or pebble in your shoe or a bunched-up sock. Your toes may feel numb or tingle as the pain radiates out. You may have difficulty walking normally because of the pain. You won’t have any noticeable swelling on your foot, though. Sometimes you may have Morton’s neuroma without any symptoms. A small study from 2000 reviewed medical records from 85 people who had their feet imaged with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study found that 33 percent of the participants had Morton’s neuroma but no pain.
