Foot Pain or Discomfort Between the Toes or or at the Forefoot
Morton’s neuroma is a condition affecting one of the nerves in the forefoot, most commonly
between the third and fourth toes. The condition occurs when the nerve becomes irritated or
compressed, often leading to pain and altered sensation in the forefoot.
Morton’s neuroma may develop gradually and can make walking uncomfortable.
