Question:

Has anyone reading this found a successful treatment for Morton’s Neuroma?  My wife just had a steroid injection in her foot for it, and it hurts now as badly (if not worse) than before.  Any input would be appreciated. –Mark

The usual treatment for Morton’s neuroma is surgical excision. Terri

Response:

I had a very bad mortons neuroma, I have PA also. After delaying the surgery for various family reasons – I got a big surprise – it resolved on its own along with my arthritis flare.  I would think about whether it is connected to your overall disease/condition before surgery.

Response:

I was just diagnosed with these in both feet behind the big toes of each.  My pain is in the ball of the foot and over the last couple of years it the pain is still intense in the ball area but now effects my ankles and calves.(tightening and cramping) The more I walk the worst it is. My question is…….is this symptoms of Neuromas and does it effect the ankle and calf areas????  What can I do for it?? Thanks Bill

Response:

Bill, My Mother had Morton’s Neuroma’s.  The only thing they could do for her (her last one was in the mid 80’s) was surgery.  I do not recall her saying anything about her calf or ankle’s hurting from the neuroma… Hope this helps.

Response:

The calf and ankle pain are probably from the way you are walking, and putting a strain on muscles and joints. Morton’s neuroma can be easily removed and are very successful.  I had one removed a number of years ago and have not had a problem with the foot since Evelyn >I was just diagnosed with these in both feet behind the big toes of each.  My >pain is in the ball of the foot and over the last couple of years it the pain >is still intense in the ball area but now effects my ankles and >calves.(tightening and cramping) >The more I walk the worst it is. >My question is…….is this symptoms of Neuromas and does it effect the ankle >and calf areas????  What can I do for it?? >Thanks >Bill

Evelyn    I am glad that you had good luck with this surgery.   Mine was botched and has caused more pain and problems than I had before the surgery.   I have one on the other foot now and NO WAY will I let anyone touch it. I found some relief by having very soft orthotics made by my chiropractor.  My podiatrist made me some also and they were hard and had no flex.  They are sitting in the drawer – -worn only once. I guess my suggestion is to interview a couple of foot doctors to find out what their success rate is with Morton’s Neuroma. I wish I had talked to another doctor or even someone that had the surgery before I ok’d it. d

Response:

My surgery was not done by a" foot doctor" but by an orthopedic surgeon and that is the only person I would have allowed to do the surgery.  I had some difficuly with the stitches, another of my many allergies, but after they disolved I have had no pain with the foot. Of course as we all know, everybody reacts differently to treatment.
