Years of Not Knowing


by: Jan on Fri, Jun 27 2008

This is a “Whew”!! I have always been a walker. Approximately 8 to 10 years ago, I noticed my left foot was “just not right”. I would start out walking feeling just fine, then I would start feeling some kind of pressure…and all of a sudden, a burst of pain would explode in my foot…causing such pain I would have to yell out and tears would come to my eyes. After some time, I had to stop the walking due to the tremendous pain I was enduring. After explaining my condition to a podiatrist he did several tests, x-rays, shots and could not find anything. CAN YOU SAY “FRUSTRATING”!!!! No one seemed to know what was wrong with my foot, and comments were stated that it would have to be something I would have to learn to live with.

For many, many years, I have not known what was wrong with my foot, until just recently, when I read in a magazine similar conditions I had and have been experiencing. Now that I know what the problem may be, and I can rest assure I “am not crazy” as indicated, I can proceed with steps to help me improve my situation with Morton’s Neuroma. AND HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO RESUME MY WALKING!!!! Thanks for listening.

    This is miserable. My left foot has a bunion but then the 2nd toe has become a hammer toe and then there is a wide separation between the 2nd and 3rd toe, which is caused by the MN, when I stand. [more..]
