If so, who was your Dr.? And did the surgery correct the problem successfully?
I've had a Morton Neuroma on the ball of my left foot for 15 years. I'm a runner so my feet are very important to me. My podiatrist in Orlando is also a runner and he did not want me to have surgery. It is operating on nerves which will always have complications. He had me to physical therapy and wear shoes with a wide toe box. It has worked. I have run several marathons with the least of my issues being my feet. Downside is I can't go barefoot, I always have to wear shoes.
