Morton's Neuroma

A neighbor has this condition & is having a second surgery for it. He is a long time casual fitness swimmer & says his doctor said that swimming was the cause. I’ve been a swimmer for most of my life & never heard of swimmers having this type of issue. I searched on the forum & found nothing. Have any of the medically inclined members heard of anything like this? I’m just curious if there is any basis for the statement or is this a misstatement/misinterpretation of the facts.

  • I used to swim with a couple of swimmers who, every once in a while, complained that, that portion of their feet did hurt them. They had stated it was caused by their flipturns. I know of a couple of other swimmers who wear regular cotton socks, or swim booties on their feet when utilizing swim fins. That could put extra pressure on that portion of your foot.
