Hi Lesley I had mortons neuroma op on left foot 2014..they had go deep take a bursa out ... I was in pain under my foot before op .. But now have horrendous pain both underneath but worse on top foot.. I had injection through top of my foot near scar as was in a lot pain...that has caused me to have like say... Static pain up leg and buttock (left side) I am so frustrated how it's affecting me... Slowed me gown big time.. I do try to keep on go but the pain gets to a height I have to try rest it... But when am sitting the aches up leg.. Buttocks.. Have tried a lot painkillers which didn't touch the pain just made me like a spaced-out zombie!! So I am very low,depressed as I was always a happy, active person but constant pain is making me miserable, snappy.. I try my best to keep positive but the pain just " overtakes" .. So Les have you tried any the painkillers?

I have had 2 nueromas removed and didn't have any recovery problems. I'm beginning to think foot problems are inevitable to all and we have to decide the best path to being painless. I also encourage all to trace ancestry that might be a key to understaning why "I continue to have foot problems,and my husband never does"!  I know my mother had foot problems.  I should have maybe looked closer to her feet and made decisions early in life to do anything to avoid future problems.

Hi Lesliy - As I understand it removal of a Morton's neuoma results in having no feeling between the 3rd & 4th toes, and that's just what I have/don't have.  But I also have the feelings of a lump under my foot sort of behind the 2nd and 3rd toes.  When my foot specialist, using an ultra sound to guide him, injected a small amount of anasthetic in the bursa the 'lump' vanished in seconds and I was able to walk up and down the surgery like a normal human being.  However once the anasthetic wore off, the 'lump' came back.  Whether it is a real lump or it feels like a lump because of the pain, I don't know.  Anyway I find the best relief comes from having 2 insoles in my shoe with a 2 or 3 cm hole cut in the lower one where the 'lump' is.

Hi Lesley,

i had morton's neuroma surgery about two years ago. My foot actually hurts more now than it did before my surgery. Wish I had better news...  My scar was also raised and discolored, and has smoothed out and gotten flesh color. I wish you luck.
