 Posted: 10/31/06 - 06:09 Post subject: SHARP PAIN after Morton's Neuroma Surgery |
  |
|
| I had the nerve removed between 2/3 toe on Oct. 12th. Things were going just fine until yesterday when I started to walk (bare foot or without an orthodic) and OMG, a sharp pain (like stepping on a nail) is felt near the arch of my foot - directly under big toe right pass the ball of foot. What the heck is this?????? It's not even near the incision or where the neuroma use to be and I never had this pain before. Did I exchange one pain for a worse pain by having this surgery? Is this going to go away? |

What you describe sounds a lot more like "plantar fasciitis" which has nothing to do with the neuroma.
You might want to read up on the topic.

|

I had surgery for a mortons neuroma 2 years ago. I have been in intense
discomfort ever since. I wish i hadn't had the surgery. I had been prescribed various drugs from pain killers to antidepressants, nothing helps. Can anyone suggest something to stop the pain. |

|

Hello fellow Neuroma sufferers...
I went through 2 years of alcohol sclerosing therapy for the treatment of the 3 Morton’s neuromas in my left foot and 4 Morton’s neuromas in my right foot.
I finally could not take it anymore and had neuroma surgery on the right foot (since that was the worse of the two)
My doctor went through the bottom of my foot.
(Even though I requested for the procedure to be done through the top)
Long story short, my foot got worse!
I knew the nerve grew back.
I knew the nerve grew back and attached to my bones.
BUT
I was told ...
I had RSDS
it was in my head
if I wanted 'pain relief' I had to sign my life away to a pain clinic.
I was told taking 6-7 luretabs a day was a bad bad thing and that they
rather have me on Fentanyl Patches, Lyrica, Morphine, and Cymbalta.
Even painful and unsucessful nerve blocks in my back.
DANG!!!!!!!
I finally met a foot surgeon who actually had this surgery performed on his foot last year and he was doing great.
I figured that even though he didn't perform his own surgery he understood what i was going through.
He did an ultra sound.
He said you really don't see nerves but sometimes if they get big enough.
WELL it was so big the doctor sched. me for his next available surgery date.
This monday 07-07-08 (3 days ago) I went under the knife again.
The doctor took out the nerve and it was the size of a small cooked shrimp.
BUT WAIT there were 2 jars...
Yep another nerve.
Another nerve got irritated and chronic-ed out so it was also removed.
They made me wean off all my pain meds prior to surgery so I would have adequate pain relief post surgery.
They are giving me less pain meds now than what I was taking before my proceedure...
I am at my wits end.
I have a cast, a scooter and mind numbing PAIN.
If this surgery dose not go well how can I justify the last 5+ years of my life being handicapped and riddled with crippling pain.
The madding thing is it is obvious WHY this has happened to my feet
They know the cause behind this debilitating condition and nobody is doing anything to fix my feet.
If somebody had some helpful hints on how to cope through this I would greatly appreciate it.
Even information on helping me with the healing process after this incredibably painful surgery would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you and good luck to everyone!

Sorry to hear you are also in PAIN>
The nerve can grow back. I had a similar experience and I beleive that
is why I had that pain months after my surgery. An Ultra-sound can be
performed to see if it did. They can't always see in this method but it
is the 1sr step in the direction to detect re-growth |

| Posted: 07/17/08 - 08:02 Post subject: Upcoming MN surgery |
|
|
Wow. I am scheduled to have MN on my left foot (between 2-3 toes) next Friday, the 25th of July. After reading some of these posts, I'm more leary than I already was!
The pain in my foot started late last summer (07). I figured I had injured the ball of my foot somehow. After several months of pain, I finally went to a Podiatrist. I had three cortisone injections. The first two worked OK for the immediate 2-3 weeks. The third one seemed to make it worse.
So we opted to try killing of the nerve with dehydrated alcohol injections. I had 6 injections - every 7-10 days. If anything it was worse.
So.....here I am - a week before surgery. They are going in through the top of my foot. I meet with the Podiatrist today to sign the paperwork, so I decided to Google and find out what others had been through with this. Up until now, I had basically heard 1/2 positive, 1/2 negative. It sounds like many of you have been through the ringer with this surgery. I'm so sorry for that.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I heal quickly and completely! I will let you know. |
