Morton’s toe develops when the nerve in the space between the toe bones becomes inflamed. Its symptoms include pain between your toes and feeling like you’re stepping on a pebble. Medication, injections, and specialized orthotics are part of the first treatment. You might require surgery for Morton’s toe if the discomfort is severe.
