Morton's Neuroma

I have been experiencing pain between my 3rd and 4th toe for some time now. It would also feel like my toes are cramping, there is no pain when I touch/press the ball of the foot of toes.The pain can become so severe that I would just have to take my shoe off. I actually feel ill when I have this pain. I have started getting the same pain in the other foot but it is not as frequent or as severe yet.It seems to be worse in the winter when I am wearing boots, trainers and any other enclosed shoes....Read the full article

Your symptoms sound just like mine. I love wearing winter clothes, but dread having to wear closed in shoes. I have a closet full of boots and shoes, but during the winter can only wear mules or slides so I can slide my foot out during the day.

I have been to the podiatrist and also an orthopedist. I have had cortisone injections as well as a series of 3 alcohol injections in the Morton's Neuroma. Nothing gives permanent relief. I have had an evaluation for surgery, but was told the last two toes on that foot would be numb permanently. At this point, I'm not willing to go through it. Also, there is the potential for the nerve regenerating even larger.

ditto - I am going through the same experience. Terrified of shots or surgery. Do not like being impaired like this. How do any of you deal with this constant pain. I am having a hard time coping.
