Mortons Neuroma/ Forefoot bursitis

​Symptoms of forefoot bursitis and Mortons Neuroma are very similar. Both involve the irritation of the nerve, with bursitis being a sack of inflammation that swells and presses upon the nerve, whilst the neuroma is thickening and scarring of the nerve.

• Pain: The most common symptom is pain in the ball of the foot, typically between the third and fourth toes. The pain may feel like a sharp, burning, or shooting sensation, and it may worsen with activity or pressure on the affected area.

• Tingling or Numbness: Some individuals with Morton's neuroma may experience tingling or numbness in the toes or ball of the foot. This sensation may radiate from the affected area.

• Feeling of Something in the Shoe: People with Morton's neuroma may describe a sensation of having a lump or something bunched up in their shoe, even though there is nothing there.

• Worsening Pain with Certain Activities: Pain from Morton's neuroma may worsen with activities that involve repetitive pressure on the ball of the foot, such as walking, running, or wearing tight shoes.
