Morton Neuroma Surgery - More pain than ever post op.
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello everyone. Glad I found this discussion / forum. My name is Deborah. I'm 48 years old and live in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I had Morton Neuroma Surgery in my left foot in March 2014 at the Freeman Hospital here. Nearly two years later I am in more pain than than ever, and the worst type of pain. It now goes from my foot, up my leg into my bottox. Back and forth to see the consultant and surgeon various times, been fobbed off with pain relief tablets. I am now seeing a higher consultant / surgeon called Siddque for a second opinion on Monday (01/02/2016). Surgery was through top of my left foot. Had a cortisol injection few month later which seems to have made things worse, the feeling up my leg and bottox is like sciatica. Profession is mobile hairdressing so standing a lot and have been for many years, constant pain. Dragging me down. Very grumpy as not used to not being as active, no quality of life. Lying on bed most nights to get weight off and foot up. I am 7 stone so not like weight is an issue and always been a very active person which makes me more frustrated. Majority of my life is spent on my bed, not what a 48 year old should be wasting my life doing. Tried all medication and pain relief but did not agree with me and affected other issues like constipation. The whole predicament is making me depressed and highly frustrated. Should NEVER have had it done! Hope to hear from some of you soon and hope I eventually found a solution.
