Morton's Neuroma Surgery

Morton’s neuroma surgery

Morton’s neuroma surgery removes the nerves in the ball of the foot through a small incision at the top of the foot (a process known as a neurectomy). Morton’s neuroma develops around a nerve in the ball of the foot, typically between the third and fourth toes. This may result in sensations like pain, burning, tingling, or numbness in the affected area, which are frequently made worse by moving around or donning tight shoes.

Surgery for Morton’s neuroma is not necessary for the majority of individuals. However, if other treatments fail to alleviate symptoms or if walking becomes excruciatingly painful, your healthcare provider may suggest surgery. Your surgeon will inform you about the specific type of surgery required and what to anticipate.

Frequently Asked Questions

To avoid undergoing Morton's Neuroma surgery, there are measures you can take. Avoid wearing tight or high-heeled shoes for extended periods and opt for shoes with a spacious toe box to prevent your toes from being cramped or pushed out of place. When engaging in physical activity, wear athletic shoes with ample cushioning to protect the balls of your feet. Consider lower-impact exercises or seek guidance from a coach or trainer to modify activities that exert less pressure on your feet. Additionally, maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

While Morton's neuroma cannot be guaranteed to be cured, there are a number of conservative treatments that can help manage the symptoms and offer relief. In extreme situations that don't improve with conservative therapy, surgical surgery might be considered.

If you are experiencing persistent foot pain despite changing your shoes or avoiding activities that may be causing it, it is advisable to seek medical attention. Morton's neuroma can be cured through surgery, but if left untreated, it can result in permanent nerve damage.

During Morton's neuroma surgery, your physician will inquire about the onset of your pain and conduct a physical assessment of your foot. They will apply force to the ball of your foot and manipulate your toes to pinpoint the source of discomfort. Typically, a doctor can diagnose Morton's neuroma by solely performing a physical examination and conversing with you about your symptoms.

Prompt medical attention for Morton's neuroma symptoms can prevent nerve damage or chronic pain in the affected foot. It is recommended to seek the consultation of a healthcare provider as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment of Morton's neuroma significantly reduce the risk of complications, including the need for surgery.

If you undergo Morton's neuroma surgery and still experience pain and symptoms, it's possible for them to recur. In such cases, it's advisable to consult your healthcare provider.
