OK, I invented the term, but that's how my left foot feels (no link with the movie starring DDL).
I have this weird feeling of always having a wrinkled sock under my 3rd and 4th toe.
I have read that's an area where nerves are sensible to pressure, and some runners are developping problems like Morton's syndrom (edit: found out it's called Morton's neuroma) at that exact same spot. I don't have pain, but the feeling is very annoying, and almost permanent.
Anybody having these sensations ?
What is it caused by ?
My theory is : too tight shoes, the metatarsal joints compress the nerves and it eventually becomes "numb"...
Any way to correct this ? Some special orthotics with metatarsal button to "open" the toes and prevent too much compression ?
I'll go and see a podiatrist as well as the orthotics specialist to learn more about this...
