but..I will....

I had Morton's Neuroma's diagnosed in both feet at the same time based on symptoms alone (no imaging) and had surgery to remove them. The podiatrist indicated I had two neuroma's in my right foot and one in the left. Within 6 months...the pain was back and I went into surgery again. He wanted to do surgery on both feet again, but on the morning of surgery, I told him to only do the right and give me yet another cortisone injection in the left. So he stated he removed two more nueroma's in the right.

Now what are the chances that I would have neuroma's in both feet, not once, but twice? I really think this was the beginning of my PN and had those surgeries unnecessarily. Surgeries which have permanently damaged my feet. My PN truly began in earnest within 3 weeks after my last surgery with fasiculations and whole foot burning.

I like to think of the Neuroma dx as the "canary" singing like the canaries they used to use in the coal mines.
