Hi Melody

I've been dealing with neuropathy in both feet for several years. Have been using molded shoe inserts and gabapentin to manage the discomfort. Not a diabetic thank heavens, so don't have to deal with any foot ulcers or other problems prior to that condition.

I did see my podiatrist a couple of weeks ago to explore the possibility of any surgical remedies, including the endoscopic technique. Have a local foot specialist who advertises this method. At any rate, she felt that the problem was not in the feet, but possibly emanated from the lower back and referred me to my primary care doc. Saw him yesterday, he doesn't feel the problem is back related and suggested I look into the endoscopic technique. Called the specialist this AM and have an appointment on next monday to look into it.

The specialist is Stephen Barrett, and his site might prove interesting to you. Specifically, under the procedures button, Morton's entrapment does have a video of the actual procedure being performed. Will prove further if I decide to take this route.
