We have not seen many people here with success from the nerve decompression surgeries of the feet (Dellon procedure.)

Tarsal tunnel may not respond to either tendon decompression or the Dellon technique.

This is one example of the Dellon subject:

Using our search function will bring up 11 other threads.

The feet tend to make scar tissue, and that furthers more compression. I had a surgery on my left instep 50 yrs ago for a tumor. It gives me grief all the time. They told me then to never touch it again. Too much damage (it was a daily bleeding hemangioma with deep roots). It was done by special plastic surgeons at a huge teaching hospital, not a podiatrist.

It is not clear what type of surgery you have been offered by your post. So I am only referring to foot surgery in my answer.
