DebbieRA,
Did you follow through with the cryosurgery for your neuroma, as I am scheduled for the traditional "top-of-the-foot" nerve removal on 12/27......did your type surgery work for you??

What state was this surgery done? I am in Florida and have sufferedwith this painful condition for a year on both feet. It will hurt whether I am active or not Did a podiatrist or Ortho do the surgery?

I realize it has been some timer since your surgery. Your doctor wouldn't be in California would he. I had a terrible experience 20 some years ago, but it felt good after about 20 years. I now have a problem with my other foot and am looking for a good doctor.

How did Debra get on? I am in pain and haven't made my minds up which treatment to have.

I just had release surgery two weeks ago to my right foot. I had 3 injections prior to this surgery that only lasted about a month each I time. The pain I was having is no longer there, however, my foot still has stitches and some swelling that makes it feel uncomfortable. I am walking with a boot without crutches for short distances and I am returning to work next week. I am a nurse and will be at a desk job for about 4 weeks. I feel that I made the right decision at his time. However, time will tell. I love to walk/run and I am planning on competing in a 5k this September, I do hope I can start training again soon. ;-)

I am thinking of having my morton's neuroma removed. My surgeon says it is a big one, however, I would prefer an operation from the top rather than underneath, re recovery and getting back to work.
Any comments?

Have you had injections or any other conservative treatments yet? I would try everything before surgery. Most surgeons operate from the top due to faster recovery time and less long term effects. I just recently had a ligment release surgery for morton's neuroma, two weeks today, and I seem to be doing fine. The pain I was having is not there at this time, just the discomfort from the surgery. I am back at work (desk job for 4 weeks, no floor nursing for me right now) and walking without crutches. I did have an orthopedic surgeon work on my foot rather than a podiotrist. Hope this helps you or gives you some encouragement, you are on the right track getting as much info as you can before you decide.

Have you tried cryosurgery. Doesn't hurt your foot and can be done 2 times of necessary.

Dr. Lenfestey, my foot Dr. in Cary, NC, recommended KobyGard for my Morton's. He likes the procedure and performs it.

To-date, I have not received much relief bt Koby Gard decompression of ligament. Could you please tell me how long it takes to get relief using Koby Gard instrument for decompression of Neuroma?

I have performed this "New" surgery many times over the past fifteen years and - firstly - it isn't new and - secondly - new isn't always best, especially when a large neuroma is present. Thirdly - it often takes a considerable period of time to recover from even apparently minor foot surgery no matter how careful the surgeon and how compliant the patient.
