Anyone have it? And what did you do to deal with it?
I have it on the ring toe of my right foot, consisting of a thick feeling under the ball of my foot and tingling. That leads to excruciating electrical pain from the base of the toe out to the tip. Once I take weight off it, I’m good.

I saw the doc yesterday and she diagnosed it w/I a minute. Had an X-ray to rule out broken bones.

I am usually barefoot or wear topsiders which allow the toes to spread out-wearing shoes feels constraining. And she told me wearing looser shoes or a wider toe box helps.

She’s set me up with a podiatrist referral (she said I can cancel if it resolves) and warned it may take a while to get in to see them

I had it about 15 years ago between 2 toes on my left foot. Dr. cut the nerve in the office and put a stitch or two to close it up and sent me on my way. Never had a problem since.

I've got it. It's not as painful as you indicated that yours is though. It feels more like my socks are bunched up under my toes. Not much pain, just annoying. I had a cortisone shot and that helped for about a week. My next option is surgery to cut the sheath around the nerves. I'm putting it off.

I had it in that same toe years ago. The podiatrist injected something, probably a steroid and an anesthetic. It 80% resolved with that. He injected from the top side of the foot because the sole is thick. It felt like he drilled all the way through my foot, so not a terribly fun procedure.

For me it was dress work shoes aggravating the nerve. Wider shoes helped, and within a couple of years it was totally resolved.

Had it. Hada couple of shots of steroids. Dr crafted a pad to wear in my shoe. Over time both worked and it went away.

Yeah I’ve had the steroid injection into my spine before and it took a few days to reduce the swelling and nerve pain. So I guess I have that in my future if it doesn’t go away on its own.

Stayed off my feet today too and it’s quit tingling.

Podiatry appointment in the bleak midwinter of December….

Last couple of days it’s been aggravating, it today it’s been quiet all day

A couple of years ago I went to a podiatrist, making a complaint similar to yours — I constantly felt like my socks were bunched up under my feet. The only thing I wanted to do, each and every day, was go home and put my feet up. Literally, UP.

Doc grabbed my foot and twisted it around a little, barked “Morton’s neuroma,” handed me a couple of sheets of paper (articles on it), and said, “buy a set of these insoles.” Those insoles, of course, were the ones his office sold. I bought a set, put them in my shoes, and hated every following day. The only things they did were press upward on my arches, and make me irritable. And I didn’t really care for that doc after that treatment. He did talk about cutting a nerve if the sensation continued. I was almost ready to get that done.

Then I changed jobs, and got the chance to change my daily footwear drastically. I wear running shoes to work now. I avoid shoes with narrow toes (like my H.S. Trask boots, unfortunately), I buy my running shoes in the “wide” size, and I don’t skimp on shoes. (Mom taught years ago: “treat yourself to a steak once in a while, and never buy cheap shoes.”)

It has taken a good while, but that bunched-up-socks feeling has gone away. I still have some days when I look forward to getting off my feet (I’m on concrete all day), and I’ve learned that how — and how tightly — I tie my shoes matters.

I’m glad you had a good day yesterday.

Issues I have in my right foot are due to a pinched nerve and nerve damage in my back at the L5-S1 and L4-L5 discs. I have pain in my lower back and buttocks on the right side. I am also numb and have pain down my right calf. Then my right foot feels like I have quarters taped to the bottom of my foot and I have pain from my pinky toe to the middle toe. So I don’t have the issue you named, but mine is a little similar; however, it is caused from by back.
