Morton’s neuroma

Morton’s neuroma is a painful ailment that involves a thickening and inflammation of the tissue surrounding the nerves between the toes. This most commonly afflicts the area between the third and fourth toes and causes pain, numbness or a tingling feeling in the affected area.

Although the exact cause of this disorder is unknown, it is believed that it occurs as a result of pressure on the nerve or irritation thereof.
