9 weeks after surgery for m***n's neuroma

I told myself that I would be the one to spin a positive tale after their surgery for Morton's neuroma. So far, that's not the case. My surgery was doable, so was my recovery. I did everything the doctor told me to. Now it's been a little over 9 weeks (operation 4/3/09) and I don't feel that I am on the path to a better life. Before I could only walk 35 minutes before I had to remove my shoe due to the sharp stabbing pains. Now, I have pain when my bare feet hit the floor in the morning. It's a sore pain between the 3rd/4th toes. I also have developed an annoying clicking sound and it makes me want to walk differently because it grosses me out. I quit thinking about the early morning soreness after about a half hour. When I go for walks, my foot becomes very painfull still after 35 or so minutes (just like before). The only difference is that my toes are numb in certain areas so I feel the sharp pains differently. I am a very positive person, but I am starting to wonder if my doctor is just shining me on. He says that he is sure this is all just a part of recovery, but my confidence in his work is dwindleing. I'll keep in touch, I still want to be the one to come on this and post a positive result. Best of luck to the rest of you. LL
