I know that my experience with Morton’s Neuroma was extremely painful and thankfully brief.
It came suddenly; I suspect some Yoga motion instigated the onset – Warrior 1?
Some move where you don’t put your whole foot down but balance on that toe-to-footpad intersection.
I’m sure it is also connected to having arthritis in the big toe – an already compromised digit being stressed.

Good for you for dropping the high heel habit. My MN came on suddenly and just as suddenly ended. I wore a pad to support the big toe and the second toe for a while. And, I stopped doing anything that makes me be on my toes – Literally. Even those Yoga poses where you balance with your heel off the ground. I find staying flat-footed helps tremendously. Robbinr
I had the neuroma on the left removed. He did the surgery from the top. It returned before I finished physical therapy. Another doctor removed it again from the bottom this time. I found the surgery to be very painful. When it did heal, I now have a huge scar tissue which is almost as painful as the neuroma. I still have the neuroma on my right foot, which has never been removed. I don't recommend the surgery except as a very last resort. I think the least invasive answer is to make sure you have good supportive shoes. My doctor gave me a list of shoes. One of them was the hoka one one tennis shoes. I rarely wear anything else. They are expensive and worth every penny. Wish I had found them first. Might not have gotten the neuromas. Also, he recommended never going bare footed. Good luck!

What did your physician say if anything about treatment?
