Hello,
It is due to neuropathic pain associated with neuroma.
As a first line management you can consider drugs like gabapentin for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
