That May Not Be a Pebble in Your Shoe
If
you’re like most people, when you have a pebble in your shoe, you immediately
remove it. Indeed, what could be more annoying? How about being unable to get
rid of the source of the irritation – because it’s not a pebble, but a
neuroma? A thickening of the nerve tissue between the metatarsal bones, it often
results from regularly wearing tight, narrow shoes, which can pinch nerves
in the feet; and it can feel like a pebble, a wrinkled sock, or a ball under the
toes.
Of
course, there are other conditions, including stress fractures, which have
similar symptoms. So, if you suspect that you have a neuroma, come see us to
ensure that you get the proper diagnosis and treatment.
