[QUOTE="rosserk, post: 977191, member: 166333"] Hi I have had two mortons neuromas one on each foot. I saw a specialist but never had any scans the surgeon immediately knew what they were from an examination. I had them both removed in hospital day surgery in two separate operations. They typically appear between the third and forth toe and are apparently rare. It is even more rare for them to appear between the 2nd and 3rd toe which is where mine where. To have one is rare to have one on each foot is extremely rare particularly between the 2nd and 3rd toe. They are excruciating and I would defy anyone to be able to continue walking during a flair up. They flair up with no warning and I often found myself out shopping and had to take off my shoes and walk without them. The pain is more on top of the foot with numbness on the ball of the foot. If it's a mortons neuroma you can illicit pain by pressing hard between the joint of the toes where the pain is (in my case half inch from bottom of scar) The neuroma is no bigger than a grain of rice but the doctor said its like having a pea trapped inside a piece of cotton, the cotton being the nerve! I've included a picture and the pain I had was about half an inch from the bottom of the scar you can see in the picture. At the time I didn't have any problems with my feet but have since developed fallen arches/ flat feet, with no explainantion from the doctors although neuropathy has been mentioned (awaiting further tests) The recovery time from the operation was 12 weeks on each foot and I've had no problems since. I've actually written about it before on the forum but no hope of find where! If it's a mortons neuroma try not to be worried, I had mine removed under local anaesthetic and the recovery time is so you don't damage the nerves while you're healing.
