@notborntoburn So you didn't have Morton neuroma? I am a bit confused. As far as doctors. After 8 months of pain and vague to no answers about the extreme pain in my foot, no I don't trust doctors. Even the podiatrist who finally makes sense with Mortons neuroma leaves me anxious. I know I have neuropathy. How, why and what kind I don't know and really no one doctor cares. I did have the nerve conduction test and I saw the results. I do feel comfortable with the rheumatologist, but what the results are remains to be seen. My issue has been the severe pain in my foot that have made me give up pleasure that I had left in my live. I had my now 3 year old great grand daughter and my grand daughter every weekend. I can no longer keep the baby for a long period of time because the pain and swelling stops me from walking. Both Momma and baby have some issues so I do take over most of the care. I am thankful that their wonderful caretaker whom I consider family bring them every Sunday and they all spend the day. I am lead to believe Morton neuroma can be reduced to no pain but yes I am very fearful. Do they know what your feet problems are and what are they doing for it. Is it part of neuropathy? My prayers for you to get relief.

No I did not have Mortons Neuromas,my sister did had surgery and she is fine! My symptoms were and still are burning in both feet my medical chart says “sensory neuropathy”
with no known cause I do have rheumatoid arthritis but this pain far surpasses any joint pain!
I know some drs dismiss people that they can’t fix but when you find one that tries and validates your feelings even if nothing works, it’s is so comforting to know I am no crazy.
I ended up in a pain management program and will try CBT they don’t offer opioids but it’s where I tried ketamine infusions.
I am pretty sure there is nothing left to try.
