My doctor says I most likely have Morton’s Neuroma, although there is a chance it could be Capsulitis. It doesn’t seem like I get more than advice since I don’t really have money, but I was told to get new shoes and give my foot a lot of rest, but I am a very active person, and even after days of rest the irritation doesn’t seem to go away, and I want to know if there’s anything I can do to help me get back to exercising and sports as soon as possible.
What should I do to help my foot heal, and how can I tell when it’s safe to run again?
Hi Pencil,
Morton’s neuroma is an enlarged nerve that usually occurs in the third inter space, which is between the third and fourth toes. Please visit the site given below for more details.
Problems often develop in this area because part of the lateral plantar nerve combines with part of the medial plantar nerve here. When the two nerves combine, they are typically larger in diameter than those going to the other toes. Also, the nerve lies in subcutaneous tissue, just above the fat pad of the foot, close to an artery and vein.
