Neuroma related to Neuropathy? (was Bump on Ball of the Foot - Gout?)

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the tip Leona. Sounds like Morton's Neuroma stems from

injuries primarily? That would jive with me, as I broke that foot a

few years back and probably walked weird to compensate while healing.

I recently stubbed a toe, maybe jammed it into the nerve. Massaging it

seems to make it worse, so I'll lay off that and walking for a while.

I was worried that the additional fats I've been eating were making it

worse, but it sounds as though more fats (and less sugars/starches)

would aid healing? I was wondering about nerve pain in general,

diabetic neuropathy, the myelin sheath, etc. Any connection?

Morton's Neuroma is a mechanical problem and is not related to diabetic

neuropathy (although a diabetic could also have a Morton's Neuroma).
