Yet another injury I'm learning from. Developed this from doing thousands of split squats to rehab my knees. If I live to be a thousand maybe I'll have a solid training regimen together. Getting old sucks. Appreciate the information.

[@gigihammerstein5944]

very helpful thank you will definitely try the taping😊

[@elizabethnelms2564]

Great video! So helpful!

[@ML-xx5mj]

I can tell you that having 4-5 years combat with meta tarsal pain and searching ways to cure it I finally found the way. It’s not pads or toe binding, it’s not just soft bottom shoes, it’s not training or massage, it’s the toe box space Enough for your foot !!! For me it’s Hoka M Clifton 9 Wide (+ personally heat shaped insole you can get from sport stores). There are also Joe Nimble wide sneakers I bought, which are great too. Forget about the rest. Btw when at home I use Crocs to avoid the hard floor against the ball of foot, especially as long as you have the pain. Crocs are wide and soft. In my country we generally don’t use shoes inside, only socks.

[@wayneherron6511]

My pain began from my job, standing for hours on concrete floors. I had no clue what was wrong and went through shoes, inserts orthotics and many other things before I found anything that worked. That padding was what helped me, but getting them in the right spot was a problem. I also have to put extra insoles in my shoes, but that causes the shoe to be too tight. It is hard to get the right balance.

[@madeleine1138]

This has been so informative. Thank you very much. Mine has flared up and is limiting my movement😢. I've been trying metatarsal pads but they don't have a dome. I will check those out as well. Also, will try the massage. None ever demonstrated any of this to me. Only shots which were awful and did not help enough to warrant the pain of the shot.

[@judithwinrow985]

Brilliant video will try them all thanks

[@johng1097]

Great tips !

[@Me.you.booboo]

Shoe stretchers are great … I also use a hair dryer to heat the shoe to expand whilst in the stretcher.

[@user-sg6ws1hc2z]

Good guidance, thank you for the three arches. I am a shoemaker and have read and seen some videoes on the Morton`s neuroma to make tha last better fit my client. In summary I have made the toebox wide enough to let the toes spread out and I will help my client to place some type of "pillow" to raise the needed arch, when the shoe is all made. Thank you again I will make a list of good wideoes to wach. A wery good tip to take with you all is Danish duckfeet. (I DO NOT ACT AS A SELLER), They are one of the last brands and factories left in the world to make true footform shoes and boots with a wide last. And they are made in Denmark. Thank you once more.

[@wesleypipes5673]

I've always used the resting squat position you specified because I've been told it's the most efficient rest position without sitting. I train martial arts and try to focus on cardio & stamina so instead of sitting I've always used this a rest position between rounds when training. Guess I'll have to make an adjustment there.

[@bethdaubner]

Just do it on your heel instead of ball

[@d.4tay549]

I use toe socks and Crocs. Also, the gel, silicone toe spreaders, seperators work well. During the Winter, I cut the toe ends off of old, big, loose fluffy socks and wear them at night. Avoid any and all things which squeeze or press your toes together. I have extremely wide feet, like a Hobbit I guess.

[@isosceleshypotenuse811]

This was the moSt helpful video for Morton’s that I’ve seen. Thanks so much! I only have a painful spot on the top of my foot, so strange.

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Thank you. I do hope it helps you.

[@asharani611]

Same with me, went to a podiatrist, she diagnosed with Morton’s neuroma. Suggested getting injections 🙄 I have only had this for couple of weeks so I am keen to explore options that does not involve injections or surgery. Hope you are feeling better!

[@frankie5085]

Great! After a broken ankle (with surgary and metal) I have Mortons neuroma. Do I need surgery? Thank You! Frank from Budapest, Hungary :)

Thank you!

[@ThePhysioChannel]

You're welcome!

[@tonymcfeisty2478]

I've suffered with Morton's Neuroma for over a decade on and off, As you say I've found certain shoes and socks and foot position increases the likelihood of attacks, I also have to avoid any position that could result in any squeezing of the foot, kneeling can be problematic because of this. I have a question, is it usual for the Toes to deform when suffering from Neuroma pain, my toes are usually straight and sit tight together, but during an attack, both my third and fourth Toes bow way from each other to leave a substantial gap of about 3/8th of an inch between them

[@davestetzler5975]

For years I have complained to my Internal Med Doc about tingling and numbness in toes. I love to hike and recently hiked the Camino and up popped the foot pain. Went to Foot Doc and confirmed the Morton's Neuroma. THANK YOU for the information & tips, very well done, wishing all happy and better trails in the future. If surgery is warranted, what is the degree of success? I would love to hear from a non-surgery provider. Thank you.

[@REXpeditions]

I'm currently looking at an alcohol ablation before surgery. Surgery is a last resort for me

[@mohitchawla9791]

Thank you so much for detailed explanations, I found them very helpful! Wish you good success! My recent increase in sprinting and tight shoes caused some of this pain, but seems it was there even before that. I don’t know if carbon plates might also be to blame, but I’m certainly gonna take it slow with super shoes! What benefit is to have all these awesome shoes and not have your foot properly functioning? Phew. Time to revisit all my training!

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Thank you for letting me know. I hope the techniques help you. All the best from my team.

[@Caromo1993]

Excellent video which is very well explained. I have been managing my Morton's for about 5 years by wearing Fitflops but stupidly decided it would be a good idea to exercise barefoot, so am suffering at the moment.

What about shooting nerve pain in the 3rd and 4th toes?

[@elainewoodworth3298]

I’ve just started experiencing this pain but more so between my 4th & 5th matarsals. I had to have a subtalar fusion 4 years ago which in turn has limited my Dorsi & plantar flexion. Is that why I’m getting this pain?

[@sandyjohnson5398]

The metatarsal dome works well for me. Emphasis on correct positioning, keep trying until you hit the sweet spot. I can't walk without them.

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Thank you for sharing👍

[@tonyjackson1817]

Thanks for making this video. The pain from this condition is excruciating for me and hope that at least one of your strategies can give me some relief. I have already started stretching my shoes and thrown out a few pairs of socks. Next I'm going to try a shoe insert with arch support. I used to walk 10km a day and hope to get back to that. I am 80 years old next birthday.

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Sending our best wishes for recovery Tony, from the team.

[@arnoldfrackenmeyer8157]

I had mine treated with a laser that made a loud POP like a gun. The doctor wore a welders shield to protect his eyes. That was 28 years ago and it never came back.

Very informative!!!! I taped my toes after watching this and the relief I experienced was totally unexpected! Thank you so much!

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Wonderful. Thank you for letting us know.

[@muhammedali8025]

When you tape it down, it seems like that would cancel out the transverse arch that the insert was trying to make. Why is that not the case? Thank you for the very informative video, I have this issue in both feet and I can see I was doing a couple of things wrong now. ​@@ThePhysioChannel

[@garyjjohnson9021]

I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis with symptoms of a sore heel etc but also suffering with pain in my foot exactly has you described . Is this a common occurrence . I have been doing self physio but may need to see a specialist and would mind your advice . Thanks

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Yes unfortunately a common occurrence. I hope a specialist can offer you some help. Sending our best from the team.

[@ronza62]

Thank you going to use the tape method 👍

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Did it work?

[@Achala148]

I have a bursitis 2/3 toe, no pain but feels like I have extra padding under my foot and toes feel numbing or like one toe is treading on the fleshy part if the other. I tried several areas for padding and didn't work. However I notice when I weight bear the second joints collapse backward, like being double jointed. Your toes have a nice downward arch mine kink back on weight bearing. So I rolled up a bandage stuffed it in my sock and put it under my toes like a cigar running along under all small toes supporting the joints... bingo, it worked :)

[@pookab5905]

Hello Daniel, firstly l would like to say your videos are wonderful about the Mortons Neuroma. I was told by a NHS physio to ignore the numbness but thankfully l have found a good private physio who is very good. My question is regarding the Rock tape nethod do l use that and a dome insole as well or to use separately?

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Thank you! Try the dome and tape separately so you can determine which helps the most. It is then an option to combine them.

[@helenhill199]

Can you please explain how the taping helps? Thank you!

[@ThePhysioChannel]

It aims to slightly change the way you move and load your forefoot so you dont flex the toes so much.

[@traceylawrance5346]

I had the nerves removed 30 years ago, but I feel like I'm getting one back. Is that possible?

[@ilonadarcy534]

What if the 3rd toe is very red and warm and hurts like hel but the examination of morton's neuroma wasn't painful?

[@ajtn9341]

mabe tight shortened calf muscles could be the cause of a neuroma? thanks for the video circulation in the ankle and toes is minimal . how to increase?

[@xxxicequeenxxx]

They deff don’t help. I have this and a neuroma. I have to wear a brace every night to stretch my muscles. Had a neuroma for 3 years and it suuucckks lol. I don’t want the surgery, no waaaay!

Well doc im 25 (6'1" & 100kg) i 1st got this pain in 23 after daily running for 9 days 5km..10th day pain was not so much but next day i couldn't run after that i couldn't even walk it remain same for 2 days & after that it slowly disappear.. now it frequently get repeated after 3-4 months i don't even go for run & It follow same pattern of pain days & intensity of pain pattern... I do WFH on laptop usually on couch or bed for 9 hours a day.. what should i do

[@elainemcdaniel3954]

The cushion helped me, but my neuroma continues to get worse not more painful, but more numbness.

[@tahusker]

Can the pain also manifest on the bottom of the foot at the base of the "ring toe" when walking? I get a sharp pain there occasionally and seemingly pretty randomly. I always assumed it was some kind of bone bruise or something since it only pops up here and there and seems to go away within an hour or so most times. Wondering if this might be what's causing it?

[@VsLeo1]

Yes it can. That’s where my pain is. It’s not a “Morton’s neuroma” but it’s a neuroma. I think it has to do with which toe it is between - but anyway, the maintenance is the same. There’s no cure but you can use these tricks to try and manage. What helps me is wide shoes, and a half insole with metatarsal pad. Also a pea size amount of Penetrex cream a night and during the day, depending. Stretches help a lot with circulation. Good luck!

[@nigelwright8726]

Should the dome be placed centrally or slightly laterally (behind 3rd and 4th heads) of the transverse arch?

[@ThePhysioChannel]

You will need to try to find the best location. Usually slight behind the transverse arch. I hope it helps.

[@ahnaahna7278]

Late at night watching this…and foot/ankle aching. A chirp has been massaging the neuroma on left foot…and my foot is adapting. I am deliberately stretching my toes, etc. I will watch this video more in morning. Thks….and the comments re encouraging. I subscribed. Ahna

[@jimboelterdotcomm9153]

The PA who recommended toe bars/domes for my Morton's neuroma recommended that I put them in BOTH shoes to keep the gait matched - you might develop imbalance issues if you only use one.

[@michaelwould]

so I have this exact pain but in my second toe from my big toe, not the toes you mentioned... so I have something else? it's seriously almost more painful than a kidney stone like... wow.

[@Katarinash777]

I have the same pain like you. I'm going to try to tape the second toe then and see if it helps.

[@petronellagumboreshumba213]

I’m suffering, with my foot

[@margaretskinner6972]

So if the pain is the second and third toe area it’s not a Morton’s neuroma?

[@ThePhysioChannel]

Less likely, best get an assessment to determine the best treatment.

[@orazioscardace911]

[@madelaine3209]

And what about a shot of cortisone or surgery????

[@ThePhysioChannel]

cortisone may help for a short duration. Surgery can help but results differ considerably.

[@Phoenix-zk2oe]

what if i just rest and don't walk on my foot for a while? does it make morton's neuroma goes away sooner?

[@VsLeo1]

Morton’s neuroma doesn’t go away… you can try to manage it or you can get it surgically removed, which is a whole other issue.
