I have experienced this recently, it is like an electric shock. Don’t think it’s Morton’s neuroma as it feels like a trapped nerve. Any ideas? GP suggested physio?

Sorry Sallywally - the only think of is - shoes/sandals. Are you using a new pair ?
Hope you get some answers …

A trip to the drs maybe?

Doctor just suggested physio which I don’t think will help. I’ve had no change of footwear. It happens very suddenly with no warning and is I tensely painful. It seems so difficult to get a referral to a hospital nowadays.

Sounds like arthritis

If they red or swollen or both its probably arthritis can be excrutiating in toes and fingers.

Could be a stress reaction in the metatarsal. Not full fracture. Just overload. Rest, ice, better insoles. GP is right to start with physio. They'll check gait and footwear.
