foot and toe pain

[kelgar]

Hi,I have been having foot pain for about a year now.What happens is the top of my foot right in the middle hurts.It feels like the nerve is damaged.It feels like you hit your funny bone sorta and the pain goes down to my big toe,which also has a numbness between my big toe and second toe.I do have what they call Mortons toe.My second toe is much longer than my big toe.I went to the doctor and he said he could cut the nerve but Im not sure about that.Any ideas whats going on? Any advice would help.Thanks,Kelly

I appreciate your help.I am going to another foot Dr.June 8th so I'll keep you updated.Thank you.Have you heard of this Morton toe thing.A Dr. out of Panama City Florida has a book about it?He says this extra long toe causes alot of things to be out of wack in your body.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
In all probability this is due to pressure on the lumbar or sacral nerves which can be due to spondylotic changes in vertebrae, degenerative bone disease, herniated disc, bone disease, cancer or TB of the vertebra or bad posture.  This is just a list of possibilities of academic interest. It is difficult to comment without further details. A MRI is definitely required.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
