In the early stages, neuroma causes only mild pain around the fourth toe, sometimes accompanied by a burning sensation (heat).
These symptoms are usually more clearly perceived when people wear certain types of shoes.
Along with the development of the disease, persistent burning feeling may spread to toe, regardless of the type of shoes people wear.
Patients can also feel as if his feet are in the heart of marbles or pebbles.
Diagnosis Of Morton Neuroma
