Which Specialist Should I Consult For Morton S Neuroma?

What type doctor do you see for possible Morton s neuroma or neuropathy? Toes sensitive, feels like wadded up rag under ball of feet, small area between big toe is semi numb. feet burn often, mostly at night - also itch on top of feet. Have no classic symptoms of diabetes, rarely drink wine, was addicted to chocolate, stopped because was told that could flare arthritic gout. 77 yrs old, problem started year ago, thought it was stone bruise, obviously not. Also was bitten by fire ant on top of foot yr ago, itch feels almost the same still but not constant.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Please consult an orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot problems that is a podiatrist. Morton's neuroma is a condition, in which the small nerves present in between the toes get entrapped when you wear tight footwear at your age, I would suggest you wear a well cushioned soft footwear.


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

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
