Morton's neuroma, known also as intermetatarsal or interdigital neuroma, is a 
common foot injury that often curtails athletic activity. Nerve compression 
involving adjacent metatarsal heads and the transverse intermetatarsal ligament 
appears implicated in injury onset. Diagnosis is made clinically, and the 
condition typically causes initial symptoms of dull cramping or burning pain and 
more persistent sharp pain with nerve deterioration. Depending on injury 
severity, treatment is either conservative or surgical.
