Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.
I am so sorry to hear about these pain symptoms you are feeling on your fourth toe. The description of these symptoms seem so typical for the diagnosis of Morton neuroma. If your regular doctor thinks that this is not the case, I will suggest that he brings up and alternate diagnosis that justifies these symptoms and what the treatment plan is.
Have you had any preliminary investigations like an x-ray, ultrasound, MRI to make sure there is no other possible cause to this like a stress fracture, and also find out if it is for sure a neutroma or not?
I will like you to take a look at this summarized version and see whether it correlates with your symptoms or not. Let me hear from you after consulting the page to address any more concerns from here. WWW.WWWW.WW

Thank you, and I will follow up with my doc, possible to get a referral to a podiatrist --> then an MRI (which is pricey, but I have insurance x2)
Thanks again, so much!
