A friend has recently been diagnosed with Morton’s Neurosy, a very
painful disorder of the nerve at the junction between the little toe and
its neighbor toe. Her doctor has provided little information or advice
except for suggesting a surgery with often yields unsatisfactory results
and promises a long healing time.
Does anyone have any experience with this affliction? If you know of
where she can find more information or if you have anecdotal experience,
please e-mail me at
la…@vax2.concordia.ca
and I will forward your message to her.
Thanks in advance.

A number of years ago I had a Morton’s Neuroma between the 3rd & 4th toes. It
was removed by surgery. The area was numbed and I was awake. No problem. I
can’t recall just how long it took to heal but I don’t think it was very long.
The results were very satisfactory. The pain went away and it has never come
back. Don’t know what else I can say except if I would experience it again
on the other foot I would go through the same procedure again.

It is always important to consider the cause and correct that if
possible. In the case of Morton’s neuroma, it is almost always caused by
foot pronation which can be easily corrected with orthotics with a medial
heel wedge that corrects the pronation. Being a non-invasive and corrective
procedure, (not to mention less expensive) this is much more desirable than
surgery. Since surgery does not correct the cause, other problems that
result from foot pronation (heel spurs, bunions, knee problems, back
problems, etc.) can occur later on.
