Default I also have had Morton's neuroma for 12 years.

What and who helped you?
I hurt my feet and ended up with Morton's neuroma from my use of an exercise bike. I changed the way I use the peddles, i.e., I quit using toe straps and placed my feet much further up on the peddles. I also changed my shoes. I went to a New Balance 928 4E shoe, i.e., an extra wide shoe to ensure that my toes are not crunched together. You want a shoe that has very good padding and you need to replace the shoes a little bit more frequently. I was unwilling to have sugary done as there is a chance they'll cut the nerve going to the toes. I did one shot, that did very little to alleviate my discomfort. Over a fairly lengthy period of time, my Morton's neuroma as improved significantly by making the changes I described above. I also wear shoes all the time.

Good luck.
