Metatarstalgia (Stone Bruise)
Understanding Foot Bruises: Causes, Symptoms, and Expert Podiatric Care
Have you noticed unexplained bruises on your feet after engaging in high-impact exercises or wearing ill-fitting shoes? While these bruises may be a result of external factors, they can also indicate an underlying condition. If you experience occasional sharp pains or numbness between the toes and arch of your foot, similar to the sensation of having a stone in your shoe, you may be suffering from a specific foot condition. We are here to provide you with the information and expert care you need to address and manage this condition effectively.
Unveiling the Causes and Symptoms of Foot Bruises:
Foot bruises can occur for various reasons, including trauma from high-impact activities or inadequate footwear that does not provide proper support or cushioning. However, if you experience sharp pains and numbness between the toes and arch of your foot, it may be a red flag for a specific foot condition like Morton’s neuroma. Morton’s neuroma is a thickening of the tissue surrounding the nerves leading to the toes, typically between the third and fourth toes. This condition can cause discomfort, a feeling of having a small stone in your shoe, and occasionally a burning or shooting pain in the affected area. Understanding the underlying causes and recognizing the specific symptoms is crucial in effectively managing foot bruises and related conditions.
