Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar's Response

Hello,

What I can infer from your complaints is that you may be having symptoms associated with foot strain or Morton’s neuroma.

Morton’s neuroma occurs when small nerves in the foot are compressed in between adjacent toes which occur when you wear tight footwear.

I suggest you change your footwear to medicated soft footwear for a few days and then see how it goes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
