Good to hear it is working well so far. Orthotics and several rounds of steroid injections have not been able to resolve this for my wife, so she is having it removed soon.

I can't say I am interested in seeing the photo.


Based on my experience I think thats a good call. So far everyone I have spoke with who has had the surgery says they are glad they did and wish they had done it sooner. Sucks to be out of commission for a while but there really is no good time of year to do so just have to do it. Definitely make sure she is prepared to do nothing for a while.

I'm interested in the pictures... This has flared up for me this season when running, skiing, or climbing and it is awful. The shock wave it sends when I hit it "just right" makes me double over involuntarily.

I got my first cortisone injection three weeks ago to give that a try but I don't notice anything different. Scared of the surgery, but good to hear you are liking the results.

Based on my experience don't be afraid of the surgery other than being out of commission for a while and its surgery so its expensive, unless your insurance covers it. In the long run you'll be much happier.

I'll post the photo. Either here or online somewhere in case anyone who sees this thread doesn't care to see it.

Here's the link for anyone who cares to look. This is what they took out of my foot. My nerve is supposed to look like the small strand on the lower left. So it was quite inflamed.

Not exactly what I wanted to wake up to this morning, but highly informative. Thanks for the photo.

I had to click on the link. No choices, no options, no free will. But maybe that's just me [insert smiley of your choice].

No wonder your foot hurt. That pic looks like a baby space monster.

Before you see a surgeon try this:

- this one is for the morton's neuroma

I am not completely pain free but this has helped tremendously. Requires dedication but well worth the effort.

If you are in the South end see Dr. Faith Doyle. She is a chiropractor and recommended this therapy. She is amazing and has never failed to help with a variety of aliments
