Symptoms and Treatments of Morton's Neuroma

7. Symptoms that come and go

Symptoms of this condition may come and go. In fact, some of the symptoms appear gradually. In the beginning, you may only notice them when you're performing strenuous activities. Either that or when you're wearing the wrong type of footwear. Then when you stop and take your shoes off, the symptoms go away. But as time goes by, the symptoms may come back, become worse, and persist for days or weeks at a time. To alleviate the symptoms, you can try some padding for your footwear. This will help lessen the pressure on the nerve that's affected by the condition. You can also place an ice pack on the area if there's any swelling. If you know that you have the disease, consider changing your activities to reduce the symptoms too.
