How to solve a Morton's Neuroma

Morton's Neuroma and Metatarsalgia can cause pain in the forefoot and burning symptoms. Take these easy tips with Foot and Ankle Physiotherapist, Andrew Wynd as he shares his top 3 tips to solve this common problem at home, step by step (pun intended). These tips with a real, LIVE patient and you too can obtain relief from pain.
1. Avoid tight, narrow shoes causing compression
2. Spread the toes - use toe spreaders, or exercise your toes into a spread out position
3. Massage ball under the arch - 5 mins morning and night can make some much needed space between the metatarsals.
If you need the products to treat and manage your own Morton's Neuroma I recommend the following kit:

I have just been diagnosed with this condition , this video has been wonderful and l wish l was nearer to your organisation. I have seen a wonderful physio privately. Initially l saw a NHS one after waiting 4 months for an appointment and was told to ignore the symptoms which is terrible. So l am grateful to have a diagnosis to explain the discomfort. Your advice has been so helpful and l will definitely try the ideas thank you so much.

[@freestylefeet2063]

You are most welcome, it sounds like you might be in the UK? Good luck, there is certainly things you can do to improve symptoms and function.

I have buldging discs in my low back. L5 and S1. I have what feels like Morton's Neuroma in my left foot but as I understand pinched nerves at L5 can cause similar issues since L5 is the nerve root for toes 3&4.

[@freestylefeet2063]

Thanks for the message- yes precisely . It can be either - I would suggest a professional capable of assessing the back, the nerve pathway and the foot is the best option. A clinical diagnosis is most important and then if available imaging to support that can also be helpful in confirming that diagnosis

This complaint does not go away easily. I have had it for nearly twenty years, the NHS was no help whatsoever until I got to the near suicidal point last year. All these aids do work to a point but unfortunately despite consistent types of massage, toe spreaders and insoles I am still at ground zero., I have managed to see a consultant yaaaaaay. I underwent steroid injections, but it didn't work, I was offered radio frequency ablation three weeks ago and some success. Not suicidal now but cannot walk comfortably or far. It is a terrible thing to suffer from as it has other complaints that run alongside it like metatarsalgia, arthritis and plantar Fasiitis. As a last resort I have purchased a pair of barefoot trainers. Here goes.

[@freestylefeet2063]

Yes this is a nasty and tricky condition indeed. It sounds like you are on the right track now however - with the barefoot trainers, just build up very slowly.

Can a lisfranc fracture be one of the causes?

[@freestylefeet2063]

Good question , a Lisfranc can certainly cause a range of issues through the mid foot and quite possibly compromise the nerves

What can I do for this?

I had a 2cnd angiogram done & now there's pain in my 2cnd toe (right foot) it is at the top of my toe is where the pain is when I walk, what do I do or need 🤔

[@freestylefeet2063]

Hi there- definitely get a professional in rooms opinion for this one @jameswalter5954 . The diagnosis could be a number of things. Where are you located ? If in Melbourne , Australia - feel free to come into the practice or send us a detailed email to [e-mail]

[@freestylefeet2063]

@@jameswalter5954 ok that is a decent commute to Melbourne. A good podiatrist in your area or physician with a special interest in foot and ankle would be helpful. I have consulted with patients all over the world via Telehealth , which is always an option. As a start for your foot trial some gentle self massage in both the front shin muscles and the arch muscles - daily for a week and see if anything changes

[@SKC-tu3ld]

Mine is a numbness on top of my left feet

[@freestylefeet2063]

Ok it might be worth looking higher up through the front of the shin and lower leg. Definitely get a professional assessment for peripheral nerve issue.

[@tjluckock5116]

I get alot of pain with this and it's horrible. Nothing seems to hell 😢

[@freestylefeet2063]

Yes this is a horrible condition- have you started by rolling a ball under the foot to make some space between the bones ?

I quit bottle drinks, sugar , coffee for 3 weeks and instead I drink water only, and the pain is gone since day one I started. Glory to God

Great work
