morton's neuroma

Good Morning,

I was wondering if any of you have dealt with Morton's Neuroma (self diagnosed) and perhaps have some suggestions on inserts, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Debbie

No more heels for me for years now!

Several years ago i developed Morton's neuroma from running and using an elliptical. My podiatrist gave me three cortisone injections which alleviated the pain. He also proscribed prescription orthotics. I still wear the orthotics and have them remade every so many years. I don’t wear heeled shoes or shoes without support.

Good morning Debbie,

Ironically I came here for a different foot problem and noticed your post. I'm 56 and have been dealing with Morton's Neuroma since I was 25. They make inserts specifically for MN and are extremely helpful. It takes some getting used to a first but I found the ones in the specialty foot store were better than the $$ custom made orthotics. I never go barefoot otherwise it will flare up. I've had to get cortisol injections if it's been really painful but only a couple/few times all these years. Hope that helps.

I had this when I was in college. I had it removed via surgery. Downtime was minimal. I never had another problem. Just don't wear hard-soled shoes on a hard surface for too long. That is what caused mine.
