Content: In addition, overweight people and individuals who are active in running or sports may also have higher rates of Morton's neuroma. Certain malformations such as flat feet, bunions, or hammertoes may also predispose an individual to this condition. Signs and Symptoms
The symptoms of Morton's neuroma tend to worsen over time, and include the following: Pain while walking - a sharp and burning type of pain may be felt most commonly between the third and fourth toes, after a short time of weight bearing. Rarely the pain may also be dull. Initially, the pain becomes apparent and is aggravated when the individual wears tight, narrow or high-heeled shoes, or does activities that put pressure on the foot. Gradually, symptoms may be persistent, lasting for days and weeks. The pain is usually intermittent. Patients may experience two or three attacks in a week and then none for almost a year. Between attacks, there may be no symptoms or physical signs.
