Everything You Know About Morton’s Neuroma Is WRONG! *Surprising True CAUSES Revealed*

[@lornz5374]

Easily the best tutorial I've ever seen on MN...many thx Dr. Kim.

[@alexspectre962]

Thank you so much for the explanation. It really helped me figure out what I have been dealing with. I got an arch-supporting orthotic and that has taken the pressure off my toes. Taking the orthotic out and walking in the same shoes WITHOUT the orthotic, caused immediate pain in the arch of my foot. That's how I knew my arches had fallen. Thanks doc for confirming everything. You are the best!!

[@donna-mariebroomfield4584]

This has got to be THE most comprehensive video I’ve seen on this condition. I’ve had it for years and the things you mention answered a lot of my questions. Thank you for sharing!

[@novelist99]

This is the best video I've seen about Morton Neuromas. I've had this condition in both feet for many years, but it recently got much worse when I wore soft-bottom sports sandals when I took my dogs outside for walks on uneven ground. For the past two years, it has felt like a stone is lodged in my foot with a balloon feeling around it. If I'm up on my feet a lot, I have horrible foot cramps and muscle spasms. I'm at the point of getting surgery for it.

[@akkuverma2328]

Hi,how are you managing it? M facing the same

[@MikiDoodleMom]

[@laurenlane9564]

This is absolutely the best video explanation I’ve seen! THANK YOU!!!

[@ilonameszaros6778]

Thank you so much! Definitely the best video and most thorough explanation. I tried to figure out what might have caused it on my right foot between toes 2/3. I have always been careful with my shoes and a year ago, starting job that requires me to be on my feet 10 hours, I started wearing even more spacious and comfy shoes. It didn’t make sense until you pointed out the widening issue as a possible cause. Thank you so much for that. When I mentioned it to my doctor, she was looking at me as if so was talking nonsense. I can’t wait to hear your healing suggestions. Thank you for really caring and sharing your valuable knowledge in understandable, logical explanation.

I didn't have this problem when wearing wedged shoes. But started wearing flat sport shoes and I got this problem.

[@zoogyd]

Great video! I needed this explanation. Increased long distance driving can also cause a Morton's neuroma 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@leighsmith5520]

This is an excellent explanation. Thank you. I have had an intermittent Mortons neuroma for a couple years now and have learned how to function without drugs and surgery. You might want to try self massage. Firstly: I only experience some of the symptoms you list; Pain between 3 and 4 metatarsil, numbness and it is much worse when barefoot. Also many days I have no pain at all. Secondly: I am an active hiker often walking 10-12 miles in a day. If on a hike and it acts up, I stop and do a 2 or 3 minute message and a good poking between the 3/4 metatarsil acts like a release. It hurts when you hit the right spot but after I can put on my boots and I am good for another few miles.

[@aarondyke8116]

Hey there I have exactly the same problem, could I ask what boots you use for hiking

[@leighsmith5520]

@@aarondyke8116 hi there, I am using Salomon X Ultra boots. I just completed the GR20 180 km. I wore them 13 days straight. A couple times I had to stop and do the release mentioned above. Happy Trails

[@juliegathman2923]

I experience something so similar... the intermittent nature of the pain is so mysterious. It comes at odd times, and sometimes is completely absent. Other times, it is so intense I can't walk. By massaging I can make it go away for awhile (sometimes), but then it comes back. If I play a a racket sport, I don't notice any pain. But when I set out on a walk, I never know if I will be fine, or limping back home with pain. I just can't make any sense out of it.

[@ReekoFilmz-hy3xr]

@juliegathman2923 You may want to check your diet. Mine actually seems to act or “flare” up when I’ve had an excess of sugar (carbs) or gluten. Sometimes red meat or alcohol can start it..

[@ReekoFilmz-hy3xr]

@leighsmith5520 Great explanation I’m in the same boat with the self massage for this pain there’s nothing like it! Also ankle roll for cuboid, if you happen to have that as well like I do. Sometimes I feel like they’re connected as one episode may set off the other. Keep it up sir!!💪👍🔥

I made the Dr send me for an MRI with focus on my second toe. I think sometimes, we have to be our own medical advocate and researchers...... why was it missed for so long? Because the Dr felt it was too rare and did surgery on the 3rd and 4th toes that didn't stop my pain.

Hi can you explain to us how the procedure went and how your foot and the nerve is doing that would be really helpful ! I'm afraid of getting the surgery and having my foot have no feeling whatsoever.

[@MsMatahari84]

​@@b-th8xg Hi, I was just reading the comments and came across yours so thought would share my own experience. I had neuroma surgery 5 weeks ago after suffering for almost 4 years and I can say getting the surgery was the best decision ever. During these 4 years I had watched hundreds if not thousands of videos here on KZbin, read numerous articles, got 3 cortisone shots, used all sorts of orthotics and nothing helped. Unfortunately, most videos online advise against surgery and pretend that conservative methods provide instant relief. This only made me lose valuable time and money, considering how much I spent on supplements, cortisone treatments, arch supports, toe spacers etc. Before my surgery I did come across horror stories online, about how their surgery went wrong, they suffered for months after the operation. I was almost about to change my mind, but went ahead and got the surgery. Post operation, I was only immobile for a day or so, but in about 2 weeks I was able to return to my normal activities and wear normal shoes. I'm almost completely healed after just 5 weeks. Now, I am not saying surgery is for everyone and things might always go wrong for some people but just wanted to provide some insight and maybe relief because I do know this is a very painful condition, physically and mentally even. Hope this helps you or anyone reading this. I only regret all that time I lost hoping that conservative treatments would help and the frustration and disappoinment I felt each time those methods didn't work. Whereas I could just have gotten the surgery long ago and be painfree like I am now after only a few weeks. All the best to fellow neuroma sufferers.

A neuroma will not have a lump. You may feel like there a bump when walking, but only a sensation. And neuroma’s NEVER go away. They, the nerve settles down but the nerve with the scaring will always be there. You can kill the nerve with alcohol injections or surgery. Likely you can aggravate the nerve by squeezing your metatarsals together from the bottom of the foot pad. Usually you’ll feel a not so good pain.

What if it is caused by your back? Around six minutes in you talk about the nerves that travel from the low back to the foot and how you have to make sure that isn't the cause. With an EMG/NCV. Do you have a video about this and if not can you explain or point me in the right direction?

[@pedrowoolson4273]

Use one of those donut shaped foam bunion pads - stick it on with the hole over the point of pain. A tiny bit of pressure change is all it takes to take the pressure off the nerve (for me, anyway) and the pain was gone within a day. My foot doesn't like hard wood floors in stocking feet but otherwise it's fine (tile floor, no problem, very weird). You're welcome. (I spent hundreds on shoes before figuring out this trick on my own)

L5 in the spine is the nerve root for toes 3&4. Nerve impingement in the spine can cause a similar feeling to Morton's Neuroma in the foot.

[@ThisIsMyYoutubeName1]

I appreciate your comment. I was just referred to a podiatrist because of the pain in my foot that is located in the area where most videos are showing the pain would be. However, I never felt the clicking sensation or the discomfort of stepping on a marble or bunching. It’s a pain that is mostly when I have closed shoes, despite being a shoe with a large toe box. The pain is severe enough that I have to remove the shoe for any relief, but it doesn’t go away quickly anymore and it sometimes lingers. It seems to have started at the same time I began getting calluses on the ball of my foot (hopefully that is the correct word for that particular part of the foot) but I haven’t had calluses before or this pain. It’s only started when I fractured my ankle. Searching for any cause in the same area has only shown that this is the cause. I struggle with believing that due to the only similarity being the location of the pain. So I’m glad to see that it could be something else. It was a bit concerning that I wasn’t having the other indicators, I was starting to question whether I had more damage that was cause me to not have feeling in the area, like some sort of other type of nerve damage

[@floraflynn1131]

Had trouble walking for years. I have many neuroma not only between the toes but under my foot. The pain is sharp like an electric shock. I bought some 5 finger vibram shoes and put heavy padding in but the problem is with padding it causes the top of the shoe to dig into top of foot. Been trying different paddings to prevent this. I cannot walk a lot but since I got the five finger shoes can go shopping. Any form of shoe unless five fingers is out of the question. Misery pain running down the toes and under the foot. This is serious pain. Had to modify to cope with it. Long walks are out of the question. About 15 years ago I had some steroid injections, don't recommend, made it worse. The pain was off the scale for 6 months. I went to see a professional to do cryotherapy costing around 4K. Did some research before considering to my shock horror one guy was so crippled after cryotherapy he regretted it. Not available on NHS. What does this mean. You have to learn to live with it using high quality memory foam and less walking.

Eg a corn pad around them, or removing a portion of the insole? Maybe good support for the foot as it articulates through the gait cycle, or strengthening stabilizing muscles? I’d make sure the shoe isn’t compressing from the sides or above, that it supports the arch, doesn’t allow too much pronation, that the hips are strong (gluteus complex), & perhaps acupuncture could help.

Exact thing happened to me. After gaining pregnancy weight and suffering from pelvic/hip problems I started noticing 1 foot felt shorter. Started getting neuroma numbness in that shorter leg. My arch has fallen 😢

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Yes I jump rope or used to Plus I’m fat So my middle toes feel like I have a blood blister, when they touch the ground,ouch

[@angiemanges7945]

I have all the symptoms of which he talks about here, including the clicking. My pain is in the arch under my toes, right at the bend where my 3 and 4th toes are. But after reading a lot online, no one complains of this: an increase in pain immediately after removing your shoe, worse than when you had the shoe on? This "after" pain lasts about 5 minutes, but wow is it awful! During this time if I try to wiggle or stretch my toes it's excruciating! Any input is appreciated. TY!

[@LucyJazzy85]

Thank you so much for this very thorough and informative video. I have this in BOTH feet. Sigh. At least I’m finally barking up the right tree thanks to you. 💜

[@Danielle-l8g]

I believe I'm struggling with this but it's really my third toe on each foot. Not pain in the ball of my foot. Doctors appt the 31st but until them I'm just miserable. And it's been going on for years! The doctor told me I had athletes foot 😒

Careful Cure heel spurs and you could be conscripted

[@nancyboal3581]

Have you tried castor oil to break down the bone spurs ?

[@shaynadavidovhansonrealtor]

Morton’s came on after I broke 5th metatarsal.. but had issues for a long time before that.. Can it ever go away??

[@fl3693]

Got EDS, ganglions, bursitis, menopause causing more weight baring as have had bunions, tailors bunions, Raynaud's and sciatica and joint subluxations for decades from Ballet.. Im in agony. Got an infra red light. Praying it helps. Any advice if it does. PS hammer toes can be related to occult tethered cord in the spine. I have major spinal issues. It all runs into each other joint. I call it the EDS cascade of hell. Im losing the ability to walk.

What can I do to eliminate a plantar fibroma?😊

[@nancyboal3581]

Caster oil supposedly does. I just started the caster oil today so too soon to say.

[@ChronJay]

But how do I fix it? I’ve watched hours on hours of videos and I’m in immense pain.

[@MaggMagg-pq9uw]

So what the answer ? Orthotics ?

[@StraszyFyFy]

no strength -> collapse of transverse arch -> issues collapsed arch -> excercise -> healed If your feet are really, really messed up and even with very good PT you can't doo much then surgery/orthotics but it will not treat the root cause.

[@alexandraw887]

Or surgery which would be a permanent solution

[@marksimons4108]

@@StraszyFyFy alpha lipoic acid supplementation,B12,B1(thiamin)B complex and a good low carb ketogenic or paleo food plan and no zerosugar/diet drinks or food as this has a neurotoxin called aspartame(25 different names)which damages the myelin sheath that covers the sciatic nerve which then causes neuropathy/burning in the nerves of the legs, feet and hands!Godbless🔥👑🕊

[@gabrieleseilo]

He says he has a video that shows how to treat the neuroma. It would have been helpful to link the treatment video Where is it ?

[@darrelllancaster9554]

Well done, Dr.

[@carmelom269]

Dr. Kim, can Morton's Neuroma ("MN") be caused by repeated sudden trauma or not? For Example, working in a hazardous environment where heavy weighted (5 to 10 pounds) small objections are prone to fall from heights of 3 to 4 ft, and impact the top/dorsal section of the foot and metatarsals ?

[@lisabrudnicki659]

What if the pain I’m having is directly on the 4th metatarsal not between 3rds 4. And when I step my 4toe clicks and you can see my toe move to the side. It very painful I have had it for probably 15 years or more. I have tried tons of shoes orthotics etc.

[@shaynadavidovhansonrealtor]

What do you Recommend?

[@TheHermitProcess]

In my case, it could be early onset but I just feel a weird pain between the third and 4th toe, hurts to apply pressure, but doesn’t feel like a marble or socks. It just feels like I’ve been wearing tight shoes but it never goes away.

[@TASIAawful1]

I started walking around my house with no shoes on a a day later I had this problem 😢

[@sherischreiner2447]

I have MN..shoes hurt my feet..even shoes from specialty stores... only slippers or barefoot gives me relief.. Does anyone else's feet feel like they are on fire and hyper sensitive like mine?

[@sarahb.6475]

I never even heard of a Neuroma! Have no idea what it is but I started to watch this to find out what it is. But it sort of seems you presume people know what it is. Years ago my arches were very low or almost flat. I was wearing those modern shoes with arch support + a raised heel. You know, athletic type shoes. But it was the shoes! I started to wear "barefoot" type shoes. I actually has to teach myself how to walk again as my walking was so badly messed up from those other shoes! My big toe and the area behind the big toe never touched the ground! 😮 took a year to learn how to keep my feet on the ground properly. And it was hard slow work. Now my feet are strong + I have good arches that support themselves! I walk around year-round in those swim shoes! 😂😂 oh I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so my feet are very flexible. The flexibility plus arch support does NOT work for me. I also wear Xero shoes too!

[@MichiganCrimeTime]

I also have EDS and a MN. Plus a bunch of torn ligaments in my foot. I hate wearing shoes and switched to Vibrams Five Fingers a few years ago. Had the NM pain before switching shoes. Last year had L2-S1 fused, next year my sacrum is getting fused due to instability. Torn ligaments are due to my second and third toe dislocating all the time, no trauma, strictly EDS *le sigh*. But I completely understand what you are saying about raised heals in athletic shoes. I’ve found New Balance to be the most comfortable (I live in the north and winters are not favorable with toe shoes). I’m having surgery next week to repair the ligaments on the top and bottom of my foot and he’s removing the NM as it’s causing a huge separation between my 3rd and 4th toe and he’s already going to be in there. I’m glad you were able to get relief by switching shoes. Sending fluffy gentle zebra hugs.

[@ea4602]

So I don't feel it in the types just in the ball. The Clouds aren't working any more.

[@CathyS_Bx]

OK, whatever. I would wear my compression socks to bed and wake up at some point with this crazy stabbing neuroma pain. The compression of my toes due to the tight socks was the culprit. An easy fix, so far. I got a lighter compression sock and stopped wearing them overnight. Happy happy.

[@LimosaNostra_]

Or cut the feet off the socks so they just compress the legs
