MN is awful!!


by: Karen on Mon, Feb 11 2008

I have had MN for about 5 years in my rt foot. I can’t decide where exactly it is. My dr. told me I have two, but I am not sure they both hurt. I have learned to live with it by the shoes I wear. I can wear flip flops and high heels, but not flats or tennis shoes. I love to play tennis and survived years with lots of Advil before playing. However, I have reached the point of not being able to play at all. I am scheduled for surgery on Wednesday, two days from now. I hope I am not sorry. I just cannot stand to become a couch potato! I have always been very active, now all I can do is the elliptical machine. I am hopeful that tennis and at least walking with running shoes are in my future. Flip flops are not great for cold weather!!! I will let everyone know how it goes.

  • Neuroma of the great toe joint - by Jayne - (Tue, Feb 26 2008)
    I had a nickle sized lump on the inside of my left foot just behind the big toe joint. It got bigger and smaller depending on my activity levels. The more horseback riding I did and the more walking I did, the bigger it got. [more..]
  • Morton’s neuroma - by Cathy - (Fri, Feb 22 2008)
    Six years ago I had surgery for a disc which prolapsed suddenly giving me referred pain from the knee down and into my foot. Op was successful but I was still left with pain in my foot which has been getting steadily worse over the years. [more..]
  • Morton’s Neuroma Spasm? - by Moggs - (Thu, Feb 21 2008)
    OK, I’m new here. I’ve had a Morton’s neuroma for years with very few symptoms. I have orthotics and that seems to take care of it. Three weeks ago I was standing in my classroom and turned to walk. I stepped off on my right and pushed off on the left. My left foot folded in half longwise dislocating the metatarsals in the ball of my foot. [more..]
  • MORON’S NEUROMA - by NSN - (Wed, Feb 20 2008)
    DON’T KNOW HOW IT GOT NAMED, BUT ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE MORONIC NOT TO REMOVE IT. I HAD ONE TAKEN OUT IN MY RIGHT FOOT BACK IN 84′ THE SIZE OF A KIDNEY BEAN. BEST THING I DID SO NOW I CAN WEAR HEELS AND ALL. [more..]
  • Guidance… - by Steven Swan - (Wed, Feb 20 2008)
    All, I hope I can gain guidance from you. I was diagnosed with MN about 2 months ago and have had two cortisone shots. The pain has not subsided AT ALL. [more..]
  • Having the Surgery - by Jackie - (Fri, Feb 15 2008)
    Hi all, I had the surgery on Wednesday the 13th of February. As I do not know as of yet it it has worked, I know that I made the right decision of having the surgery to even try to eliminate the problem. After I woke up from the surgery the surgeon told me that the Nerve was pretty big. [more..]
  • Mortons Neuroma - by Lorna - (Tue, Feb 12 2008)
    I think that I may have this, I have seen a consultant and am going for a mri scan. I hope it shows up as I am at the end of my tether with the pain and for months have been on painkillers which dont really help. [more..]

  • Give me hope - by Elizabeth - (Fri, Feb 01 2008)
    I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have had four major surgeries for uterine fibroid disease. I have recently had surgery for skin cancer and have had to give up my career as a personal trainer. I live in pain every day now from three foot neuromas which have plagued me for 18 months. [more..]
