Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
From the description of symptoms, I suspect MORTON'S METATARSALGIA in you.
Either ultrasound examination or MRI scan is needed to diagnose the condition.
The management of this condition involves-
* using silicon arch supports and foot pads in the shoes
* Some patients may benefit from local steroid injections
* If the symptoms are not resolving, then a decompression surgery may be indicated.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day

Hi,
your symptoms suggestive of Morton's Metatarsalgia.
X-rays are not useful, except to rule out other causes.
If there is no relief from symptomatic padding then the neuroma may be excised . Cortisone injections are also used as treatment option for this condition.
Hope this helps you.You can cosult me again directly through my profile http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-saurabh-gupta/64132
