Hi, I recently had my neuroma removed surgically because of the continued pain I was having since October 2008. I had tried everything from cortisone injections to cryotherapy but I was still having pain (occassionally very painful). I wore metatarsal pads in all of my shoes but they would get worn down and eventually caused pain until I inserted new ones. As a division 1 lacrosse player, I decided to get this surgery so that I wouldn't have any pain during season. It has been a week and a couple days since my surgery and I haven't experienced any pain other than some throbbing after walking with my special surgical shoe on for a prolonged period of time. I am starting to wonder if the pain I was experiencing prior will disappear once it is healed. Also, I am trying to determine how long it will take me to walk in a normal shoe and then how long it will take me before I can run/do any sort of exercise. I was wondering if anyone that had this surgery could let me know how their experience went after the surgery and how long it took them to do any type of physical activity. Thanks!
