Morton`s Neuroma

A neuroma is a noncancerous (benign) growth of nerve tissue that can develop in various parts of your body. Morton`s neuroma occurs in a nerve in your foot, often between your third and fourth toes. The condition involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes. Morton`s neuroma causes a sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot. Your toes also may sting, burn or feel numb.
