Neuromas
Commonly called a Morton’s neuroma, this problem begins when the outer coating of a nerve in your foot thickens. This condition has a number of different symptoms and side effects. The most common symptoms are:
* Burning and stinging between the toes radiating toward the ball of the foot
* An acute stabbing pain in the foot that comes and goes
* Numbness and tingling of the toes
* Sudden cramps or pain in the forefoot
Some of the side symptoms associated with these neuromas are leg aches, low back pain with muscle spasm, chronic fatigue, a feeling of nervous tension, and cramps in the arch.
Although medication, physical therapy, injections, and arch supports may offer a temporary decrease in symptoms, the only permanent relief is minor outpatient surgery.
