Plantar plate sprain misdiagnosed as a neuroma?

Let's say you have this aching pain in the ball of your foot. You've been running and when you run, you get some sort of weird aching soreness in the ball of the foot.

You just know it's in the middle of the ball of the foot and it hurts more when you run and it hurts kind of after you run.

Well, you go see a doctor. They look at you, they poke around, and they say, "I think you have a Morton's neuroma."

Then later you figure out either because you got a second opinion, either or you sign up for the Plantar Plate Masterclass and went through those things and started self-diagnosing you figure out that you actually have a plantar plate sprain.

You get really confused about why it is that someone would misdiagnose you with a neuroma.

Can a plantar plate sprain be misdiagnosed as a Morton's neuroma? Well, that's a great question, and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run podcast.
