Neuromas - How to get relief of Pain
Neuromas are often caused by shoes that are too tight or too narrow, or by activities that put a lot of stress on the ball of your foot, such as running or high-heeled shoes.
Symptoms of a neuroma of the foot include:
- Pain in the ball of your foot that may feel like a burning or tingling sensation
- A feeling of having a pebble or marble in your shoe
- Numbness or tingling in your toes
- Pain that worsens with walking or standing
Treatment for a neuroma of the foot typically involves:
- Wearing shoes that fit well and have good arch support
- Using pads or inserts to cushion the ball of your foot
- Avoiding activities that aggravate the pain
- Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen
- Injections of cortisone or lidocaine
- Surgery to remove the neuroma
If you are experiencing symptoms of a neuroma of the foot, it is important to see a podiatrist to make a diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
