sore feet

[Guest guest]

I too suffer from Morton's neuromas. Bilaterally ( both feet)

sometimes my feet hurt worse than my back and belly. I have alot of

trouble finding shoes to wear, I do better with flat shoes, nothing

with an arch. I saw a podiatrist in the spring and she wanted to do

surgery and cut the nerves to my feet. She had said that the

neuromas were so bad that blocks and nothing eles would help just to

cut the nerves so I wouldn't feel the pain. I discussed it with my

husband ( a surgical nurse)with addition of the pancreatitis and the

potiental I have for diabetes, we have decided that if I got a sore

on my foot I wouldn't feel it. Where my husband works they do alot

of leg amputations from non-complicant diabetics and from those with

neuropathy that they didn't feel that little open area that started

the infection. It is very difficult to find shoes for women that

look socially appropriate for certain situations. I am the woman at

church that as soon as I sit down the shoes come off. Good thing I

am Pentecostal I can't run in shoes anyway. Those you that are

Petecostal will know what I am talking about.
