Morton's Neuroma is a condition in which patients
experience a painful sensation while walking or
even just standing. It's often described as
stepping on a pebble in your shoe, typically
between the third and fourth toes. In addition to
the pain, Mortons Neuroma can also cause
tingling or numbness in the balls of the
feet. Morton's Neuroma - Not a Cancer "Unlike
other nerve conditions or terminology of the
condition, Morton's Neuroma is not cancerous.
It's simply an abnormal thickening of the tissue
around a nerve between the third and fourth toes,
where the condition typically develops," says Dr.
Pradeep Moonot, a leading foot and ankle surgeon
in Mumbai. Though Morton's Neuroma can often be
overlooked, leaving it untreated can lead to
severe complications, including 1. Chronic
Pain Patients usually experience pain between
the third and fourth toes of their feet, which
interferes with daily activities and severely
affects their quality of life.

2. Altered Gait Foot pain naturally changes how
a person walks, which can lead to abnormal
walking patterns and further damage to the
foot. 3. Nerve Damage If left untreated, the
prolonged compression of the nerve due to
thickened tissue can result in permanent nerve
damage. 4. Psychological Implications Many
people ignore the condition, hoping it will
resolve independently. Unfortunately, this isn't
usually the case. Chronic pain left unaddressed
can lead to stress, anxiety, and even depression
in some cases. Though anyone can
develop Morton's Neuroma, women are more likely
to experience it. "The majority of patients we
treat for Morton's Neuroma tend to be women,"
says Dr. Pradeep Moonot.

What Causes Morton's Neuroma? The exact cause
of Morton's Neuroma isn't completely understood,
but it is widely believed that nerve entrapment,
where the nerve gets squeezed between the
metatarsal bones, leads to swelling and abnormal
tissue growth around the nerve. One of the main
risk factors for developing Morton's Neuroma,
especially in women, is wearing narrow shoes or
high heels for prolonged periods. These types of
footwear can increase the risk of nerve
compression and contribute to the development of
the condition. Treatment Options for Morton's
Neuroma In most cases, Morton's Neuroma can be
managed without surgery using simple non-surgical
treatments like 1. Footwear Change Avoid
narrow-fitting shoes or high heels, and opt for
wider shoes that give your feet plenty of space
to move comfortably.

• 2. Orthotics Custom orthotic devices, such as
  metatarsal pads, can help distribute pressure
  more evenly across the foot and alleviate pain.
• 3. Injections Advanced injection therapy can be
  used to treat mild cases of Morton's Neuroma.
  These injections help reduce swelling and pain
  while improving foot movement.
• 4. Physical Therapy Physical therapy can also
  help strengthen and stretch the foot muscles,
  relieve pain, and improve overall foot function.

In cases where conservative treatments do not
provide sufficient relief, surgery may be
recommended. One standard procedure is
Neurectomy, which involves removing the affected
portion of the nerve to reduce pain and prevent
further complications significantly. Recovery
from surgery may take several weeks to a month,
depending on the severity of the condition.
Patients are advised to avoid weight-bearing
activities during recovery, take regular pain
medication, and attend physical therapy sessions
to aid in recovery. If you're experiencing sympto
ms of Morton's Neuroma, its crucial not to
ignore the early signs and seek professional
treatment as early as possible. If you are in
Mumbai, Dr Pradeep Moonot is the best orthopedic
