How Can An Inflamed Nerve In The Foot Be Treated?

I have high blood pressure mostly because an inflamed nerve in my foot prevents me from exercising as much as I would like. I m interested in something that s not a diuretic. I will be consulting with my own physician, but wanted to know what drugs you might recommend given my criteria.

hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.

the problem you are facing is called Morton's neuroma.

Tests to be done are MRI AND ULTRASOUND.

Symptoms of a Morton's neuroma can completely resolve with simple treatments, such as resting the foot, better-fitting shoes, anti-inflammation medications, and ice packs. More rapid relief of symptoms can follow a local cortisone injection. Symptoms can progressively worsen with time. For those with persistent symptoms, the swollen nerve tissue is removed with a surgical operation.

Prevention:-

Wearing proper footwear that minimizes compression of the forefoot can help to prevent the development of and aggravation of a Morton's neuroma.

hope this was helpful.
have a healthy day.
