@summertime4 I also have fibromyalgia and was diagnosed with Morton’s neuroma 2 years ago. Had steroid injections. Saw a foot surgeon. At that point he suggested I could first try shoes with very firm soles so that my toes do not bend when I walk. He actually suggested the shoe Hoka One. He said I could never ever walk anywhere inside or outside in bare feet; I must always have a firm sole shoe or sandal on.
Also it was recommended I use a metatarsal pad insert in my shoe as I have no fat tissue left in the metatarsal area of the bottom of my foot and that pain was exasperating the toe pain from the Morton’s neuroma. My third and fourth toes are always swollen. I can’t bend those two toes. So far this had helped keep the pain at bay for 2 years but I can feel that it is just not feeling as good anymore. I think I see a return visit coming up soon. I’m hoping to put surgery off as long as possible without causing any harm to my foot. When that day does come at least I know I gave it my best shot already.
Have you visited with a surgeon yet? Did you get any suggestions other than surgery?
Best wishes to you, I hope you find some answers that will help.
