Frequently Asked Questions About Neuroma
Q: What is a neuroma, and where is it commonly located?
A: A neuroma is a foot condition characterized by a thickening of tissue around a nerve, typically in the front part of the foot, often between the third and fourth toes, a condition known as Morton’s Neuroma. This results in sharp, burning pain or numbness.
Q: What does having a neuroma feel like?
A: The sensation of having a neuroma is commonly described as feeling like there’s a marble or pebble inside your shoe that you’re walking on. It generally brings about sharp, burning pain and can cause numbness in the foot.
Q: What causes a neuroma to develop?
A: Neuromas usually develop following irritation, an injury to the nerve, or as a result of wearing tight-fitting shoes. They can also occur if there’s an underlying foot deformity, leading the nerve to thicken and sustain more damage.
