Foot Care First

01/04/2024

A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that may develop in various parts of the body. The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton’s neuroma, which occurs between the third and fourth toes. Anything that causes compression or irritation of the nerve can lead to the development of a neuroma. One of the most common offenders is wearing shoes that have a tapered toe box or high-heeled shoes that cause the toes to be forced into the toe box. Symptoms include tingling, burning or numbness, pain and a feeling that something is inside the ball of the foot. The best time to see your foot and ankle surgeon is early in the development of symptoms. Early diagnosis of a Morton’s neuroma greatly lessens the need for more invasive treatments and may help you avoid surgery.

Brilliant news!

How are McDonalds’s soft drinks changing? Fanta Orange and Oasis Summer Fruits will be replaced with Fanta Orange Zero and Oasis Zero Summer Fruits across all restaurants in the UK. This could impact people living with diabetes who use these drinks as a hypo treatment or who are carb counting.
