Mel, When i first got PN, one doc sent me to a podiatrist and she tested me for Mortans neuroma, apparently a good podiatrist can do some sort of manipulation of your toes and can tell without an xray if you have a neuroma or not, she said i didn't have it.
Another uneducated doctor sent me for an ultrasound looking for neuromas [ in both feet ? very unusual but not impossible] it also showed no neuromas at all,
Mortans Neuroma can be easily diagnosed and confirmed with an ultrasound.
