In this condition, a nerve between the toe bones becomes irritated and thickened. Usually, the nerve affected is between the third and fourth toes, but sometimes the nerve between the second and third toes can be the cause.
The condition typically causes a tingling sensation between the toes, and pain in the ball of the foot or base of the toes.
The pain is often worse when walking or wearing tight shoes. Wearing wider shoes, rest, and pain relievers may relieve symptoms.
Surgery may be advised to treat severe cases
