You might consider getting a custom made orthotic for the foot with the Morton's neuroma. I had a Morton's neuroma a few years ago. The lower extremity MD recommended surgery, but then added the caveat that the neuroma might come back. At that point I started searching for non-surgical interventions. A PT recommended I check with a local orthotic maker who makes orthotics for Olympic skiers and others. I decided that putting an orthotic in my shoe would be far less painful that undergoing a surgery that might not solve the problem. When I got the orthotic, it did not solve the problem, but the orthotist reworked the orthotic and Violá, I was pain free. I use the orthotics (one in each shoe, but only one has the correction for the neuroma ) whenever I have on shoes that will accomodate the orthotics. They simply won't fit in some women's shoes. After about 10 years with the orthotics, I can now even wear sandals w/o the orthotic and not have any pain. Find the best orthotic maker you can! Ask around. Ask in ski shops, bicycle shops. They will know.
