I developed Morton's neuroma a painful condition that affected the ball of my foot. Its most commonly affects the area between third and fourth toes. Morton's neuroma felt like I was standing on a pebble in my shoe or on a fold in your sock. It was painful.

I had a few solutions. Get deep tissue massage in the area to break up the scar tissue, surgery to remove nerve, or get injections to kill nerve.

I decided on the injections. It took weekly injection to finally kill the nerve. Thankfully I have returned to running pain free.

I had many overuse injuries but the Morton Neuroma was painful and strange.

OUCH!! That does sound extremely painful, Matt… especially to a big baby like myself 😃 Really glad you didn’t have to have surgery done!

I always feared plantar fasciitis! Grateful so far not experiencing it! Running isn’t for wimps that’s for sure.

The hard part injuries usually happen well into your conditioning, and it’s so hard to start over.
