Morton’s Neuroma is a painful condition caused by a swollen nerve in the ball of the foot, often leading to discomfort and burning sensations in the toes. FACEMED in Essex offers effective treatments and surgical options to address and alleviate the symptoms associated with this condition.
Morton’s Neuroma is a swollen nerve located between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones in the ball of the foot. It causes shooting pains and a burning sensation that radiates into the toes.
The condition often results from pinching and pressure from the joints in the ball of the foot, exacerbated by tight or ill-fitting shoes. This leads to thickening of the nerve. Patients may experience the urge to remove their shoes and massage their foot for relief, with numbness and a sensation of “rumpled up socks” under the toes developing over time.
Initially, wider shoes are recommended, along with steroid injections to reduce inflammation. Surgical treatment involves removing the swollen portion of the nerve, with a recovery time of approximately 4-6 weeks. Please note that you will need to cease smoking for 6 weeks before and 8 weeks after surgery to aid the healing process.
All treatments are paid in full at point of delivery.
