Content: In this article, we discuss Morton’s neuroma, the more difficult and urgent condition of the two. Symptoms of Morton’s neuroma
Symptoms for this condition are usually pressure-related. That means that you won’t immediately experience pain when you get on your feet and start walking. If you do, that rules out Morton’s neuroma. Instead, you might have other conditions like arthritis and other injuries. See our articles for details, and for a match for your symptoms. Aside from the headliner sign of feeling like you have a pebble in your shoe, the following symptoms are associated with Morton’s neuroma. Feels like you’re walking on stones, marbles, or as if you have a fold in your sock
Persistent pain that lasts for days
Intense, burning or stinging pain in the ball of the foot
Intense pain that gets worse the longer you are on your feet: standing, walking, running
Pain that disappears when you’re off your feet or when you remove your shoes, or when you switch from high heels to flats with a wide toe box
A sharp shooting pain that seems to travel along your nerves, radiating to your toes
Numbness and/or tingling in your toes
A tingling sensation between your fourth and fifth toes, the location of the nerve
