A neuroma is a painful condition, also referred to as a “pinched nerve” or a nerve tumor. It is a benign growth of nerve tissue frequently found between the third and fourth toes. It brings on pain, a burning sensation, tingling, or numbness between the toes and in the ball of the foot.
Where can you get neuromas?
Neuromas can occur after trauma and even after surgery in any region in the body since most areas have nerve fibers providing feeling. Painful neuromas are common after amputations in the hand and upper extremity (arm) and in the lower extremity (leg). They are also seen following hernia repair in the groin.

What does a neuroma feel like?
It may feel like a burning pain in the ball or your foot or like you're standing on a marble or pebble in your shoe or a bunched-up sock. Your toes may feel numb or tingle as the pain radiates out. You may have difficulty walking normally because of the pain. You won't have any noticeable swelling on your foot, though.
