Hello! I have hereditary Morton's neuroma that I've had most of my life, on and off. Doctors have been fairly dismissive in the past and just told me to rub Voltaren on it or wear wider shoes or insoles, etc. I don't always feel like they understand my acceptable quality of life is climbing mountains and ski touring all day, not shuffling around to the grocery store in ultra wide geriatric shoes. Recently had a big flare up on the scrambly approach to a multi pitch climb (my partner nearly had to carry me back down) and every time I have a flare up I have slightly more numbness so I have to take care of this now. Had cortisone injections but this seems to be a very temporary fix and isn't cheap, plus can degrade tissue over time.
I want to go the surgery route, so looking for experiences of those who've gone through it. My mom got a neurectomy in the late 70's and hasn't had an issue since. Which kind of surgery did you get, from top or bottom? Hows life post op?
Thanks!
