I, too, had a neuroma on the right foot and had it removed. In my case, they had to get it from the bottom of the foot where normally they try to go in from the top. This made the recovery longer but overall, it wasn't all that bad.

If you doctor is giving you any alternatives to surgery, you may want to try everything you can. If surgery is the only option, try to find the best surgeon you can. If I had it to do over again, I would have had an orthopaedist do it as I have too much scar tissue left and I think an ortho may have done a better job. Just my opinion...

Don't let them talk you into both feet at the same time. It's just too hard on the recovery.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this but if you have made such good progress on your PN, this won't be so bad.

Good Luck,
