I also don't know your medical history, including all the other medical problems and medications you have been on. Have you had any imaging done, such as an MRI? This may help aid a diagnosis. It's possible that a Morton's neuroma could be the cause (although it's not particularly high on my list of differential diagnoses) but I simply cannot tell without a consultation. Firstly you need to see a registered physician about your foot. The type of doctor will vary on what the true cause of your foot pain actually is. 1) Orthopaedic 2) Rheumatologist 3) Vascular 4) Neurologist I'm not sure how your country refers patients to specialists, but here in the UK you would see your GP/family doctor first for an opinion. They will guide you through the process if they cannot deal with it themselves. If the cause is found and realistically untreatable then you should see a doctor specialising in pain control because you should not be in the pain you are describing, this is unreasonable. If you want more specific information on Morton's neuroma I can provide it, but I think realistically you need to a doctor face to face.
