Middle-aged women who run or play sports have an increased risk of Morton’s neuroma, a painful growth on the foot caused by inflammation of the plantar nerves. In this respect “Doctor Peter” said traumatologist-orthopedist and sports medicine doctor Vladimir Nechaev.
Every sport, including running, has side effects as well as benefits. These include Morten’s neuroma, which resembles dense fusiform thickening in the area of the metatarsal heads, between the toes (fourth and third or second and third). A neuroma occurs as a result of compression of the plantar nerves. They become inflamed, swelling appears and connective tissue grows.
Treatment usually requires lifestyle changes, anti-inflammatory medications, and pain medications. However, sometimes surgery may be required, so you should consult a doctor at the first sign of neuroma.
Obesity, prolonged standing, running, rolling of the foot on the inner edge and wearing high-heeled or narrow-toed shoes facilitate the development of the disease. Joint and tendon diseases and injuries are also risk factors.
