Does a pebble sensation confirm the diagnosis?
Morton's neuroma involves thickened tissue around an irritated nerve in the foot. It may cause shooting or burning pain near the toes, a pebble-like sensation, or tingling. Several foot problems can feel similar, so the symptom name should not replace an examination.
What should you record before the visit?
Note the painful area, when the problem began, the shoes you wear and the activities that bring it on. Bring earlier imaging or treatment records if available. Explain whether pain limits walking or work and whether numbness or weakness has appeared.
When is an assessment worthwhile?
Arrange a review for severe, worsening or recurring pain, symptoms that restrict normal activities, or persistent tingling or numbness. Tell the clinician about a recent injury or foot operation. A sudden significant injury should be assessed according to its severity rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
What can you ask about footwear and support?
Discuss wide, comfortable footwear and whether a suitable pad or insole could reduce pressure. Ask how to adjust activities while the foot is assessed. A product recommended to someone else may not suit your foot, and pain medicine should be discussed with a clinician or pharmacist.
Does everyone need an injection or operation?
Treatment depends on the diagnosis, symptoms and response to appropriate measures. Ask what the next step would change and when to review progress. If physiotherapy is recommended, coordinate through the department and an individual plan. Any proposed procedure, referral, availability and cost should be confirmed before booking it.
