Yes, it could be Morton's Neuroma. I get it in my left foot, especially at the start of a day's walk, then it tends to wear off. For me, fortunately, it's more uncomfortable than painful.95033trek said:Hi Frankleg,
I have a similar problem that kicks in after about 10 km, and in my case it's a neuroma (a swollen nerve between two toes). Nothing dangerous, but it can be painful. I tried injections that unfortunately made it worse. Am currently walking with custom orthotics, and while not the perfect solution, they have helped quite a bit. There are other treatments, some more extreme than others.
If it's a neuroma, your MD or podiatrist can easily diagnose it and make recommendations.
Good luck to you and your feet.

Hope this sorts your toe issue out once the disc is back in place. I think you mean you have a straight spinal columnFrankieg said:Thank you max44 I have had back problem last couple of months and had to go to hospital for some quick relief and had a catscan result was that I had a bulging disk and i also have a strait spinal cordthat put me back with my walking a little my back is getting better everyday and I am back walking i also find doing some dead lift exercise (recommendation from my husband) does help. I will read the link you sent right now. We fly out of Sydney the 27th of May and start our Camino first week in June I can't wait lucky I have a few months to sort out little problem like toes, back etc.. :x
Have a great day.
JansCamino said:Does the tingling let up when you loosen your shoelaces? We have blood vessels and nerves that run right under where our shoelaces are. When my feet start to tingle, I know that my laces are too tight and just loosen them up a bit. It takes a few minutes for the tingling to go away, but it does. Your shoes might feel loose when you do this because you are probably used to lacing more tightly, but if you have the right socks, it should not create blisters.
hecate105 said:For any foot problem - or none! I was told years ago to stop every 2-4 hours and take boots and socks right off for 20 mins or so, it allows the feet to relax and breathe. It certainly works - I have fibromyalgia and suffer from lots of aching in my feet and legs - but doing this makes it much better. I don't get blisters either. I do it when walking and when cycling. Worth a try!
falcon269 said:Some of the lacing techniques put a lot of lace pressure on the top of your foot. Some 2x2" gauze pads can help.
