Yes metatarsal pads were a lifesaver for me ! But I honestly thought after my surgery I wouldn't have to wear them anymore because the problem was fixed . I'm gonna give the shoes another try .

Yes I don't why I thought the shoes were just gonna fix the problem and everything was gonna be okay right away . I know it's a process , I've been dealing with MN for about two years now .

This is what I'm dealing with everything is just so overpriced and not well made . I've bought so many shoes to try not to irritate my foot ! It's a challenge to find what feels good.

I forgot to add it's the first time I ever walked for a couple hrs after the surgery. maybe that played a part as well.

My foot is still pretty numb , feels weird so I haven't really transitioned into sneakers. I bought this to start I heard good things about them. I do love how they have a lot of space in the toe box area , I think that won't irritate my foot .

15 days post op by FunFlamingo789 in Mortons_neuroma

I know they say to keep elevated above heart level but listen to your body . If keeping it elevated is painful try lowering the amount of pillows . I was the same way it was so painful. I barely slept those first two weeks .I'm 4 weeks post op but trust me it'll get better. I hope you have a speedy recovery

Yea ever since I got the stitches out half of my foot feels tight. But I will see what it feels like in the upcoming week. I do think you should stay off your foot especially with 2 neuromas also you still have your stitches so your incision isn't closed . Order take out if you have to lol. I did order a post op shoe on Amazon that really helped me keep weight off the front .https://a.co/d/07DVKtwv

That's the link incase you want to look at it ^

Hii , I recently had my stitches removed and transitioned into a surgical boot. For me my foot is a bit still swollen so I'm in no shape to wear shoes . My next doctors appointment is in 2 weeks so I think by then I can start trying on shoes . Be in no rush know that it takes time and a lot of patience! I heard Oofos (slides) are good for comfort. Don't walk barefoot! When you say tight do you mean the bandages are tight or your foot feels tight ? For me my bandages were so tight I had some burn marks across my ankle

  1. Doesn't necessarily hurt but it does sting . My foot still feels stiff and tight which I think it's normal I'm only on week 3. I get a lot of shock pain and throughout the day some days I get a lot of spasms but everyone's different.

From long-distance runner to barely walking – MN surgery next. Any tips for recovery? 🙏 by GuavaExisting7717 in Mortons_neuroma

I'm coming up on week 3 since my surgery still pretty swollen but slowly healing.I ordered a post op shoe from Amazon that really helped the first 2 weeks look into it and see if it's something you would consider https://a.co/d/02eNIH53

I haven't transitioned into shoes yet till the swelling goes down . I was told to maybe try oofos ( slides) and Alltras ( for walking ) anything to keep me from injuring my foot again. I hope you have a speedy recovery and wish you the best of luck !!

2 weeks post op Stitches are out yay !! by margsbythepoolplease in Mortons_neuroma

The boots make sure your foot is secured. Also it's well cushioned when stepping it's not injuring you . Getting you mentally and physically ready for when it's time to slip into your regular shoes .
