Morton's Neuroma is a common problem with runners and normally causes a burning pain in the forefoot, just behind the 3rd and 4th toes (sometimes behind the 2nd and 3rd toes). The pain often radiates towards the toes, and sometimes there is numbness rather than pain. The underlying cause is inflammation of the nerve between the bones of the forefoot, often triggered by narrow or tight [[Shoes|shoes]]. I have had good results with the simple fixes described below, and I have had reports of other runners with similar success. {{DISPLAYTITLE:Mortons Neuroma, symptoms and fixes}}

* Strengthening the [[Muscle|muscles ]] that flex the toes and support the arch of the foot may help. Typical exercises include scrunching up a towel with the toes, or picking up marbles with the toes.
