Thanks for making these videos. I'm day 10 after surgery and the area where my neuroma was is really stinging and swelling, I could swear another neuroma took it's place. Additionally, other nerves in my foot are periodically shooting with pain, there's periodic pain and burning in the boarding toes, and I'm going a crazy from all laying about. My surgeon set my exceptions too optimistically and I started reading stuff online that freaked me out. So thank you for sharing your experience!
OMG! My neuroma is on the left foot also but mine was caused by the needle of a podiatrist. I am very Angry that a podiatrist has given me a Morton Neuroma. I am DEVASTATED!
I am much better these days. I am hiking alot. I just did a 12 mile hike in the Dolly Sods WV, but that is close to my limit. You can gradually increase activity as time passes. Your foot will let you know if it’s too much. Just set some small goals. Take some small walks. Do some light stretching. Main thing is to use it regularly so you can regain strength and range of motion without pain. It takes time so be patient and don’t let a setback keep you down.
It takes at least 2 weeks before they take off all of the bandages. Then maybe a week or two more and you can start to wear shoes. At first you will want to wear the widest and most comfortable shoes you can get. Over time you can start to wear other footwear like dress shoes or boots.
@@kmichaelewis If the surgery is done correctly then the chances of a stump are low, but not zero. I had too much nerve pain, especially at night, I had to have the surgery. Maybe get a second opinion? I went to an orthopedic surgeon who specialized in foot surgeries.

The first few weeks post surgery is rough, but it does get better. Talk to your doctor about gabapentin and hang in there.

I had suergey about 3 weeks ago . I still wear a walking boot do you suggest I start wearing a shoe?
You should wait till you get out of your boot first. Hang in there. Hope the surgery went well.
How are you feeling now? I had surgery for mortons about one month ago.

How soon could you walk with a boot after the surgery
It takes at least 2 weeks before they take off all of the bandages. Then maybe a week or two more and you can start to wear shoes. At first you will want to wear the widest and most comfortable shoes you can get. Over time you can start to wear other footwear like dress shoes or boots.
@@adamscastle6222 really appreciate the feedback. My doctor trying to discourage me from surgery because of the chance of a stump:(

@@adamscastle6222 did you have to use crutches or could you walk with a boot right away
@@kmichaelewis you will need crutches for a few weeks, but a cane may suffice. You will be able to put some weight on your heel.
