So after suffering from Morton's neuroma for over 18 months, having the nerve injected 3 times without sucess and seeing a new surgeon because my other one is too slow and has a long waiting list. Finally an answer as to why my toes are bending out to the left and leaving my big toe with a wide gap. My previous surgeon said it was wear and tear on the muscles and ligaments, which I thought was rubbish. Anyway turns out the above toes are too long and have been causing my Morton's now waiting for surgery to have the nerve removed and the two toes broken, bone removed and wired together. Has anyone else had this toe surgery? Any tips?

I think thats called a fusion the bones corrected and wired together which is what I had in my big toe 6 weeks ago. Everyone heals differently and faster than the other just remember when you get home from the hospital keep that foot elevated about your heart and ice it. Ice and elevation are your new best friends. The less swollen the less pain and better healing. I have a few weeks to go possibly 8 to 12 weeks before my bone heals. Stay in the boot and do what the doc says you'll be just fine! Keep us posted!
