Neuromas & Neuropathy: Nerve Pain That Demands Expert Attention

If you’re experiencing burning pain, tingling, or numbness in your feet, you may be suffering from a neuroma or peripheral neuropathy—two nerve-related foot conditions that can severely affect your comfort and mobility. Left untreated, these conditions may worsen over time, interfering with your ability to walk, exercise, or wear shoes comfortably. At Truxtun Foot & Ankle Specialists, our skilled foot care specialists offer advanced diagnostics and effective treatments to relieve nerve pain and restore foot function. If you're feeling persistent discomfort in your feet or toes, don’t wait—schedule an evaluation today.

A neuroma is a benign, but painful thickening of nerve tissue, commonly occurring between the third and fourth toes (Morton’s neuroma). It often develops from repeated stress, tight shoes, or foot deformities. Neuropathy, on the other hand, refers to damaged or malfunctioning peripheral nerves—typically caused by diabetes, trauma, or poor circulation—which result in tingling, burning, or loss of sensation. If you have a persistent lump, swelling, or discomfort in your foot or ankle, schedule an appointment with Truxtun Foot & Ankle Specialists today for expert care.

Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Nerve pain in the feet can be sharp, subtle, or completely numb—yet all are signs of underlying damage. Common symptoms include:

  • Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation in the toes or soles
  • Burning, sharp, or shooting pain
  • Feeling like you’re “walking on a pebble” (especially with neuromas)
  • Numbness or reduced sensation
  • Muscle weakness in the feet
  • Balance or coordination problems

Common Causes of Neuromas and Neuropathy

While the causes of nerve pain vary, they are often linked to underlying health issues or biomechanical stress. Risk factors include:

  • Diabetes or pre-diabetes
  • Repetitive trauma or high-impact sports
  • Ill-fitting or narrow shoes
  • Foot deformities such as bunions or flat feet
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Vitamin B deficiency or chemotherapy

How Diabetes Contributes to Neuropathy

High blood sugar levels can gradually damage the nerves in your feet, leading to diabetic neuropathy—a condition that reduces sensation and increases your risk of injuries, ulcers, and infections. Because symptoms often progress slowly, many people remain unaware of the damage until complications arise.
