So thorough and helpful!!! He's absolutely the most well spoken and informative person/doctor I've heard speaking on this subject. I wish I could go to him for surgery!
I started with symptoms in my left foot about 18 months ago while on holiday. I initially thought that i had trodden on something. Fast forward to the present and i am in pain whenever im on my feet. I limp everywhere and it is starting to have an adverese effect on my whole leg and my mental state. Working out is very painful but without that in my life my mental health is worse. Tomorrow i am phoning my doctor in the UK to try to get a private appointment with someone. The broken NHS is telling me it will be August before i am seen. Frankly i cannot cope with that. I hope they can cure me. I just want to get my life and fitness back. I miss the pleasure of pain free walking and running. Thankyou for the video doctor.
I really hope your foot is much better now. I'm in the UK and it does take ages to be seen. I've had foot pain recently and like you i love long walks and exercise. I never realised how horrid and depressing it is to have foot pain.
Fantastic video!! I’m getting checked for this in a couple of weeks (ultrasound I think) as I’ve been in agony for months with no idea what was causing it and doctor told me he suspects this today- really appreciate your video- very informative! 💚
Thank You Doc! Your explanation and the electric wire foot model was Amazing! Yes, I have stopped my JumpRoping bcuz I have this same exact symptom. It’s slowly getting better with wide loose fitting shoes, self massage treatments n foam rolling my calf muscles.
Great explanation and gave me a better understanding of what I have wrong with my foot, although cortisone didn't work for me, so looks like surgery may be my next option. Thanks for a great explanation.
Thank you so much , what a pleasant explanation you have made for us Dr. I am suffering for that kind of problem , do you think that if I will do some reflexology would help ? Thank you
I had Morton neuroma on both feet and surgeries. Then I’ve had bursas there for years and tons of cortisone injections. Maybe a bit to do with wrong footwear when I was younger and additionally too much practical work for a woman with small feet per my height. Up and down ladders, decorating c 150 rooms and other heavy work. I used to love walking/ rambling but now aged 71 I daren’t as these feet have to last a bit longer!
I have this. It irritates the heck out of me. Ive had it years..I do 20 mins of exercise a day then have the pain for hours after. I've always worn comfy shoes BUT when I was 13 or 14 I bought a pair of shoes that were too small for me and being young/stoopid and wanting to follow fashion I wore them and Ive never really worn heels since. DON;T DO IT KIDS!
What helped me was to wear a different set of air soled shoes. I am in a foot study where they recommended some soles / arch support. I am not sure how much it is helping.
If you have hypermobility syndrome or EDS, you can end up with this. I never wore heels. Didn't wear tight shoes. I have a low volume foot and had to find good footwear that wasn't tight (gout or cyst on big toe), which usually had to be laced up to keep them on. Never was able to wear flip flops because they lacked an arch and a heel cup and I have fallen arches and weak ankles and would walk out of them. (The arch and heel cup of Superfeet corrected my over pronation.) Then, I found a pair of flip flops with a heel cup when the gout was acting up and I wanted to keep a shoe from resting on it. So comfy... I thought. WRONG. My arch and heel might have been supported, but I wore them for five months and when cooler weather came around I went to put my shoes on and thought there was a nail coming up through the shoe--in both shoes! Turns out the lack of containment / the lack of support of my upper foot combined with the cushioning (so I didn't feel the neuroma developing) resulted in inappropriate pressure to that area of my foot. I have two on the left foot (both places mentioned) and one on the right foot. ALL FROM WEARING FLIP FLOPS. So, for 56 years I wore flat, thin soled shoes (rarely a heel) and pounded my feet on hard surfaces. I went barefoot... a lot. NO neuromas. I wore those flip flops for about 5 months and had forefoot instability and got multiple neuromas. Also, when I mentioned to the foot surgeon that my mother had them and had surgery, he said to me "Morton's neuromas don't run in families." WRONG. EDS runs in families (it's genetic) and hypermobility increases the risk of Morton's Neuromas. My whole family has hypermobility issues. My mother, two of my female cousins, and I wound up with these in our feet. The three of them in their 30s because they all wore heels. How could a foot surgeon not know about this? How could this doctor not seem to know about this and think it's tight shoes and heels for women? It's believed that 70% of people with EDS are women. LEARN ABOUT WOMEN'S HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT RELATE TO THEIR FEET! What's so hard to figure out about hypermobility? Why weren't people like me warned? Couldn't even get an EDS diagnosis for years if you didn't have stretchy skin.
I know this is an old comment, but this is interesting! I currently have this condition and also have EDS. I don’t wear tight shoes or high heels, so that must be part of what caused it for me.
Not sure if I have this because I don`t really get any pain, just slightly uncomfortable feeling like my sock is bunched up under my foot. Been like this for a couple of years.
I think I have this. I broke my foot last June . Five fractures, with crushed ligaments. I have pain at the top and bottom of my foot. I’m having physio still . But very painful. Your video was very informative thanks.
i’ve dealt with neuromas for abit over a year now. had a bad one in my left foot which got surgically removed last week, now i gotta repeat the process on my right foot as well as that one’s getting worse now too
Mine hurts on the bottom. It's swollen and painful. I can't tell if it's coming from the joint or in-between my middle and fourth toe. It's causing me to limp.
Male here, 66 years old. The last year or so I've had a feeling like my sock was bunched up under my foot. Also numbness on the bottom of the left foot. My left leg is 1-1 1/2 inches longer than my right leg-so the left foot takes the majority of the stress when I walk. I have a 1/2 inch lift put on my right shoe heel to make up for the leg length difference. I don't feel pain in my foot so much as numbness and the sensation that my socks are bunched up under my left. Does this indicate Morton's Neuroma?
That pad thing doesn't work. My podiatrist gave me predisone and it worked. Second guy wouldn't give it to me. He suggested surgery. No way am I going to do that. All he gave me was meloxicam which is awful.
request an ultrasound to confirm and find neuromas....PAINLESSLY and cheaper then 3 weekly visits to get those injections.....he said u need WEEKLY injections and is used to pinpoint the position IF you have a neuroma and that is what they do it...you wont get short term relief if you dont have them and you will have gone thru it all for nothing. Have an ultrasound, and I am getting cortisone injections and so far THEY are working longer term...can last several months
Hi & thanks for the video. I have to point out that the dummy foot you used has a short big toe, extremely short to the point of disturbing 😂🤣... sorry, had to be stated 🤷♂️
this is money making for the doctor...he says u need to come back WEEKLY to get the injections so they can find the right spot where the neuroma is...um...ULTRASOUND and u find it 100% guaranteed. If you think you have one or the specialist does then just ask for an Ultrasound and not bother with the weekly injections. And you CAN get neuromas in between toes 1 & 2. I broke my foot hi up across metatarsals for the big toe and now have a large neuroma in usual spot but toes 1 & 2 and also 3 &4. I have not worn tight shoes in 40 years but i use to walk a LOT everyday on gravel surfaces and then as I said I dropped a large piece of wood on my foot and broke it....otherwise thorough info...

I’m getting surgery today. I couldn’t take it anymore.
You can wear customised insoles as a conservative treatment
Good video. Well explained
Awesome!! 😇😇
Foot pain is one of the worst thing you can have .. so depressing
Infelizmente tenho esse problema. Neuroma de Morton, incomoda e dói as vezes.

The bones in the office around the doctor are from patients who didn’t quite make it.
What do you think of mls laser treatment?
my pain is under the toes not on the top of the toes
Same here and I have it on both feet .
YES!!!! Me TOO
Mine was under my toes. Had the surgery done two weeks ago. Hope it helps.
When it gets awful it hurts top and bottom. Even putting a sock on hurts. I am currently recovering from Morton’s Neuroma surgery.
Mine hurts on the bottom. It's swollen and painful. I can't tell if it's coming from the joint or in-between my middle and fourth toe. It's causing me to limp.
Same problem here, more painful in the morning.
Nice video. That poor girl looks like she’s there involuntarily haha
I got surgery for neuroma 7 months ago iam still having a lot of pain could someone please help

I have that same numbness and 'sock' feeling but it will turn into a sharp pain as my workday goes along.
Acupuncture fixed mine, well almost, now ive got chronic glaucoma
I need help
NEver do the operation to remove the nerve. It will always develop as a stump neuroma and you will have significantly more pain.
Not always
Would this Neuroma cause any radiating pain to the front of the chin?
Check out a nerve map of the chin and toes and foot and see if there is any connection !!
Having my 2 cut out soon
The ice pick, though.....
#creepy
2:40 The doctor lovingly caresses the foot.
kinda hot
I was concerned I had this but it was just tendonitis.
I exercise mine
What specialty physician does this neuroma surgery?
In my case, a podiatrist
That pad thing doesn't work. My podiatrist gave me predisone and it worked. Second guy wouldn't give it to me. He suggested surgery. No way am I going to do that. All he gave me was meloxicam which is awful.
An X-ray can show exactly where the neuroma is.
Question: does surgery leave you with a numb foot?
It can indeed cause full time ongoing numbness. I saw my GP about this issue yesterday.
How effective are alchohol injections?
request an ultrasound to confirm and find neuromas....PAINLESSLY and cheaper then 3 weekly visits to get those injections.....he said u need WEEKLY injections and is used to pinpoint the position IF you have a neuroma and that is what they do it...you wont get short term relief if you dont have them and you will have gone thru it all for nothing. Have an ultrasound, and I am getting cortisone injections and so far THEY are working longer term...can last several months
@@krystalwilliams3238 got it. Thank you.
I think you can learn more about CBD from Weedborn.
Why not complete an MRI or ultrasound to find the neuroma instead of relying on the patient to locate it with a pen!
Hi & thanks for the video.
I have to point out that the dummy foot you used has a short big toe, extremely short to the point of disturbing 😂🤣... sorry, had to be stated 🤷♂️

Microwaved Dr phil
I think I'd rather go through the bottom of my foot and leave the ligament alone
Very nice. So it looks like I do NOT have Mortons Neuroma
