Confused after Morton’s Neuroma Surgery

Hi its been almost three years since my mortons neuroma surgery(I have commented several times) and I still say it is the worst medical decision I have ever made. I have constant pain still--- just have to become accoustom to it. I lost my fourth toe as a result of this surgery and now my baby toe lays all the way to the right and if I do not tape my first three toes when wearing shoes my second and third toes lean to the left and mash that baby toe. I think If I did not tape them all the time those second and third toes would lean to the left permanently. I also think my neuroma has grown back and get the feeling from all these posts that none of us were even told that this could occur. Another thing that would have kept me from having the first surgery and I sure as heck am not going back to have it checked or to see what he can do about my leaning toes. Not much I don't think. I always have pain walking, I am constantly buying new orthotics, AND have yet to find shoes that are truly comfortableto wear and many like flip flops that I will never be able to wear again. To add injury to insult, in recent months I have developed this problem that when I am going to bed at night and just starting to relax I get extreme cramping in both feet( one foot had surgery, the other one still has neuroma) and what I assume are charlie horse cramps in my calfs, the tendons behind my knees as well as extreme cramping in my thighs. It does not happen every night, maybe three times a week and is so darn painful it is all I can do to get up out of the bed and walk. It doesnt go away quickly thats for sure and by the time it passes I am usually in tears. So all I can say to you is I feel your pain, three years later so if I were you I would avoid another surgery at all costs,especially if you are already having issues, you will probably be dealing with pain the rest of your life, I have no doubt what so ever that this is as good as it gets for me and I am now 61 and figure I probably will reach a time where I wont be able to walk for the foot pain....I can no longer walk bear foot at all, can barely stand without shoes on if there is no carpet , you should see me trying to cross concrete bare foot to get in our pool......it is awful. This is a rotten surgery to do to anyone over sixty and I have yet to hear one positive result from anyone in this age group who has had the surgery, I curse my foot doctor under my breathe every damn morning when I get up and place my feet on the floor. I told him so too. So anyone else doing any better?

Here is a picture of my poor foot. I just realized we could do pictures. And that second toe, the tip of it is curled and frozen in that position, at times it feels like my toes are on fire...we wont mention the missing toe as a result of this surgery. Yeah, my foot is worse than it was before the surgery for sure.

hi I had double neuromas in both feet, surgery in both feet. In 2020 I had bottom of the foot surgery on both feet. I'm in intense burning tingling pain 24/7. Taking 5mgs. oxycodone 4 times.per day. I wake up every morning with burning foot pain about 4 30. I am truly losing my mind I see no cause for hope short of removing my feet. I see amputees competing with prosthetics and they appear pain free. I have had 2 back surgeries and 2 shoulder surgeries nothing compares to this. Truly think I'm done.....I wanna be sedated. Anyone with a hopeful factoid, thought, experience or observation?

i had surgery for my mortons neuroma 12 days ago. they took out the nerve and the tissue surrounding it from the top of the foot.

3 days after the op i had to go back to have a nerve blocker in the back of my knee because the pain in my foot was so bad.

since day 8 to now i am really suffering with a swollen feeling in my toes like a tight elastic band is round them along with a burning sensation and tingling in the top part of my foot.

it tends to be fine during the day very little pain so long as its elevated but as soon as i put the foot down for longer than five minutes its starts to throb and swell. at night time its the worst for all these sensations, i am just wondering if this is normal and how long it will last as this sleep deprivation is killing me

Hi everyone - I developed neuroma from a ligament surgery I had a few hears ago. it developed pretty soon after as well. I know this was posted years but this was helpful for me in my surgery decision. Also having a hard time finding much online on any of this. Has anyone heard of decompression surgery here or done it before? This is what one of my doctors recommended vs another one that wanted to remove the nerve which after reading this will never do. I am going to have the surgery done this Friday if anyone has any feedback here. Also did anyone show any improvement here? So sorry to hear all of these surgeries gone wrong. Wondering if any of these go right. ):

Thanks,

Mel
