Morton's neuroma
Toe nerve thickening
Morton's neuroma is a painful condition affecting the ball of the foot, typically between the third and fourth toes.
A nerve becomes thickened and irritated, often from compression or repeated stress.
The sensation is sometimes described as standing on a pebble or having a fold in your sock.
Treatment ranges from better-fitting shoes to steroid injections to surgical removal.
