Could numb pain between the toes, like stepping on a pebble, be Morton neuroma?

Doctor’s answer

Yes. Morton neuroma often causes burning pain, numbness, or a foreign-body sensation between the toes in the forefoot, worse with narrow shoes, running, and forefoot pressure. Management includes wider shoes, metatarsal pads, load adjustment, injection treatment, and surgery assessment for persistent cases.
