mortons neuroma
by: Christine on Fri, Oct 10 2008

I have been dealing with this very painful spot in the ball of my foot for over 2 years now. I was told that is is a neuroma and that I need to change the type of shoes I wear. I did that and to no avail the pain was still there. Went back to the doctor and tried cortisone injections. They seemed to help, but then I had to quit getting them when I found out I was pregnant.

After my son was born the I went back and started doing injections again. At first they seemed to get me through 2 maybe 3 weeks at a time, but I just had one a week ago and nothing!!! No relief what so ever. I feel as though I have rocks in my shoes at all times and my foot is tingling all the time. It is so painful to walk on.. it brings me to tears.

I was told the next step would be surgery, and I have been doing a lot of research on it. I have read things where you will have permanent numbness and a great chance of it growing back even bigger!!! Can someone help me who has been through the surgery and let me know if they have had good results or not. I would greatly appreciate it.
