Any experience with surgery for foot neuroma?

Asked by Jeruba (55823points) December 29th, 2016

If you’ve had surgery for Morton’s neuroma or other neuroma of the foot, please share your experience.

Also if you are a practitioner or have pertinent medical knowledge, please fill me in.

I have had cortisone injections, alcohol injections, orthotics, taping, gel pads, special sandals, and radial shock wave (EPAT) therapy, and nothing has helped. The neuroma is about 3/8” in diameter and is causing me a lot of discomfort. The doctor says the only recourse left is surgery.

Do you have any fact-based advice for me?

Thank you.
