Mortons Neuroma

[HelenC 0]

I found out this weekend that I may have Mortons Neuroma, which is preventing me from walking any distance at all. I can get just about a mile before the pain gets to be too much.

Does anyone else have this? I see a podiatrist on Friday.

I have a friend who is being treated for the Morton's Nueroma. She was seeing one podiatrist who recommended surgery to have them removed. he would have preformed the surgery through the top of the foot. Because she switched insurance in the process she had to see another Podiatrist who treated her with shots for about 8 weeks or more and has now asked to wait a month to see if it gets better. If not then he will do surgery only he will go under through the bottom of the foot. She has also been taking lyrica for pain which is suppose to be like a Vitamin for the the nerves and is not suppose to cause any side effects however I had to take thie at one point and gained 10 pounds in a week from retaining Water. She is currently taking 2 pills a day that is for reducing edema and high blood pressure. If you do not find anyone else on here but have some more specific questions let me know and I will ask her.

Good Luck! I know how bad/painful this can be from watching her suffer.
