I am new here. I had surgery for Morton's Neuroma 8 weeks ago and I am still having a lot of problems. I had complete removal of the nerve. While I was in surgery, the doctor also found some arthritis and best I can describe it ( cant recall the technical term), he also cut out some capsuls of arthritis while he was in there. The problems I am having now are even worse than the neuroma. I am still having some pain similar to before surgery and now my toes ache all the time and VERY BAD in the morning. I also am having trouble in the ball of my foot. Any advise or comments would be appreciated. I think maybe I am just rushing my recovery time but need to know if I should be concerned. Thankyou !!

I had a joint replacement in my great toe on May 19th, I'm still suffering and now I'm told I have Morton' Neuroma and need more surgery. I don't know what to do, all I know is what I am reading and nothing says that surgery is a real cure. Apparently scaring is a problem. I am about ready to quit my job and apply or SS disababilty. I can't believe I can't get my foot fixed. I am in Winter Haven, Fl. Maybe be don't have the best doctors. I just can't believe in this day of medical miracles that I can't get my feet fixed. I have tried evey kind of gel pad, has anyone had any luck with ordinttic (spelling wrong)?

so your saying you can have this more than once ..your kidding me right Crying or Very sad

after op and crutchers for 9 weeks leg went blue up to the knee and felt i was walking on thousands on pins got walking on it and felt great. 3 years down the track went back to surgeon as my foot now feels like a brick and no movement in it when i sit as long as i am walking its sort of ok very tired .. toes want bend and ankle stiff with limited movement my foot kind of looks odd also got a sore hip from walking funny on it .. how long does it take before the nerve grows back for this to happen again ??????
