Morton's neuroma is a benign neuroma of an intermetatarsal plantar nerve, most commonly of the second and third intermetatarsal spaces (between the second/third and third/fourth metatarsal heads; the first is of the big toe), which results in the entrapment of the affected nerve.
One cause of metatarsalgia is Morton's neuroma. When toes are squeezed together too often and for too long, the nerve that runs between the toes can swell and get thicker. This swelling can make it painful when walking on that foot. High-heeled, tight, or narrow shoes can make pain worse. This is common in runners, particularly of long distance.
Morton's toe is the condition of having a first metatarsal bone that is shorter than the second metatarsal (see diagram). It is a type of brachymetatarsia. [1] This condition is the result of a premature closing of the first metatarsal's growth plate, resulting in a short big toe, giving the second toe the appearance of being long compared to the first toe.
Signs and symptoms are also applied to physiological states outside the context of disease, as for example when referring to the signs and symptoms of pregnancy, or the symptoms of dehydration. Sometimes a disease may be present without showing any signs or symptoms when it is known as being asymptomatic. [13]
[3] [2] Typically, the hand that is used to scratch the infected feet or toes is the one that contracts tinea manuum. [14] Why the other hand is spared is not clear. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] In a case-control study that also looked at scratching habits, despite concluding that it was likely that tinea manuum develops in the hand that scratches the feet ...
The cause of Jumping Frenchmen syndrome is unknown. [8] One theory is that it is a genetic condition. [9] An observation of 50 cases found the disorder to be remotely located and concentrated in the northern regions of Maine. Fourteen of these cases were found in four families. [3]
Freiberg disease, also known as a Freiberg infraction, is a form of avascular necrosis in the metatarsal bone of the foot. It generally develops in the second metatarsal, but can occur in any metatarsal.
Symptoms of Uhthoff's phenomenon occur when exposed to heat, and include: fatigue [2] pain [2] concentration difficulties [2] urinary urgency [2] [3] worsen of existing optic neuropathy [4] (although optic neuropathy may occur for the first time) [3] muscle stiffness [3] dizziness and unsteadiness [3]
