​

Symptoms associated with a neuroma include pain under the ball of the foot, a dull burning sensation radiating towards the toes, or even a stinging sensation that can be described as being similar to an electric shock.  

Treatment

> footwear modifications

> strapping

> load and activity management

> footwear or innersole additions

> occasionally referral for cortisone injection or surgery may be required
