Ever get a tingling, burning or numbness feeling...IN YOUR FOOT?Neuroma happens when the bones of 2 toes rub against one another, pinching the nerve in btwn. Too-narrow shoes, which cram toes together, are often to blame; or performing certain aggravating activities.
:Treatment Options:
+ Cortisone injections to reduce pain;
+ Alcohol shot which destroys a portion of the nerve;
- Surgery to cut out the nerve.
- Stop wearing high-heeled shoes.
Don't be embarrassed if you see MicHael's left foot staggering on the frisbee field; he recently took the sobering step of an alcohol shot.
