As a mailman, I experienced a similar pain when it was time to buy new shoes. I could barely walk and had to walk on the side of my foot to keep from getting the zinging pain from the ball of my foot down to the end of my longest toe. I always bought Rockie Athletics shoes that lasted me close to 2 years, walking a mail route everyday. Great shoes.

Try shoes with Very wide toe box.

I have Morton’s Neuroma. So painful. Got 2 cortisol injections 2 years ago and 3rd and 4th toe still numb. Like other said, wide toe boxed shoes, no more cute narrow toed high heels for me. 3rd hour of Pickleball, I get the burning pain but goes away quickly after I put my feet up. Go to a good podiatrist.

I never had used CBD before but the guy at the market asked if I had any pain “ yeah my foot “ gave me a pea size of the ointment put it on my foot and said” I’m walking to the end and if it helps I’ll be back” I literally took 3 steps turned around and bought the tin. My husband didn’t believe me til his knee was bothering him and he tried it now he uses it more than I do ������������

Yes. I got a cortisone shot from foot ortho and it resolved and never came back. Does it feel like you are stepping on a marble?

Thank you all for good info & advice!

Yes, I had one on each foot. It’s like a cyst wrapped around a nerve. Very painful. I had my left foot operated on 97. Then in 2005 my right foot. No problems now. I think I got mine by doing an elliptical machine too much.

Yes, I had a Morton's Neuroma in the early1980's on my right foot. Excruciatingly painful! I had it surgically removed. The tumor was about the size of a BB. I have no feeling in the third or fourth toes. But having it removed relieved the pain completely.

I highly recommend Felix Esary, DPM with Tri County Podiatrists.

I had the same symptoms and Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN diagnosed as the Mortons Neuroma. I was given a cream to use on bottom of foot to help numb it,; however not that effective. Also suggested getting small foot pads to stick inside of shoe in that area. That helped a lot, and also not going on walks for a while. It was good after a few months.

Just saw podiatrist Nicole Hancock for this. She glued some pads on my custom orthotics & told me to by some pads on Amazon. They got lost in the "mail." Use a pad a few years ago for this and it worked. Pain disappeared for about 5 years, then came back.

I have Morton's Neuroma - only happens when I wear narrow enclosed toe shoes. Doctor told me to stick a pad in my shoe, and it worked. No more pain - also helps to wear a wider toe shoe. The pad supposedly lifts that area up slightly.

Yes. Very much so as it is a fairly common concern. I am a retired board certified physician, medical/surgical foot specialist, new to the villages who practiced for 34 years. Be happy to speak with you about it over the phone if you like. You may reach me at Ultra15000@ aol.com.

[tsmall22204]

Yes, see a doctor.

I have had MN for over 10years. My Dr in Virginia Beach gave me a shot with alcohol instead of cortisone and it worked great until a few years ago. Have not been able to find a Dr here that will use alcohol as it kills some of the nerve. Better than surgery. Let me know if anyone finds a Dr here that will use alcohol.
