6. Strange Foot Sensations: Morton's Neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a thickening of the tissue that surrounds a nerve between the third and fourth toes.4‘Morton’s Neuroma - OrthoInfo - AAOS.’ OrthoInfo, orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases–conditions/mortons-neuroma. Patients with Morton's neuroma present with pain and numbness in the balls of the feet. The injury feels like walking on a nail, but it can have another strange symptom. Sufferers may feel like there's a stuck pebble or rolled-up sock underneath their toes when wearing shoes.
This condition happens due to compression, often from wearing narrow, squeezing shoes for years.
