Morton's Neuroma

A sensory nerve running between the toes is compressed and thickens, producing pain and numbness. It usually develops between the third and fourth toes.

Q. What happens if I leave it alone?

A.

Walking so as to avoid the pain lets impact accumulate at the ankle, knee and hip joint, and the balance of the whole body can be thrown off.

📝 Detailed Answer

When altered sensation and pain in the foot continue, impact other than usual reaches the ankle, knee and hip joint. Over a long period this can progress in the direction of the whole body being thrown out of line, so it is better to have it checked early.

The approach differs according to whether the pain is at the intermittent stage, the continuous stage, or a stage that has lasted more than a year.
