Morton's Neuroma

Treatment usually involves wearing wider shoes and taking oral medications to decrease the swelling around the nerve. A pad on the sole of the foot to spread the bones is often helpful. Your doctor also may inject cortisone around the nerve. If your difficulty continues, surgery to remove the neuroma may be suggested.



TREATMENT

• Firstly, the podiatrist will diagnose the condition. History of the condition, clinical presentation and your description of the problem may be sufficient.
• The podiatrist may squeeze the area between the bases of the toes. The area may be sensitive and an audible click may be present. This click is the neuroma pushing between the bones and is often referred to as a mulders click.
• X-rays may be necessary of the foot. This may rule out a stress fracture of the foot.
• You may be referred for a MRI scan, this will enable the chiropodist to see the neuroma.
• Various types of pads can be used to redistribute pressure away from the lesion.
• Orthotics (insoles) may be prescribed to redistribute pressure away from the neuroma.
• The chiropodist may advise your General Practitioner to inject inflammatory medicine into the neuroma.
• Appropriate shoes may be recommended.
• A decrease in symptoms may occur instantaneously, with a complete recovery in a few months. However, the patient may need to use insoles to prevent a further reoccurrence.
• In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Removal of part of the nerve may be preformed.
• An elastic sleeve below would slip onto your forefoot to reduce pressure and provide extra cushioning protection. If you suffer from Morton's neuroma, the extra soft and breathable silicone pad offers you tremendous relief.
