I had surgery to remove Morton's Neuroma between 3 and 4th toe. First week after surgery I could not put any weight at all on foot as the nerve pain was AWFUL. Dr. gave me a rocker boot which enabled me to walk a bit. After the second week walking in the boot was OK. Wore the boot for a 3rd week before switching to a Merril Clog shoe which is the only shoe that is comfortable. I still have quite a bit of nerve sensitivity in that when I apply any pressure at all to the middle of the foot on the bottom it sends a sticking feeling right through to the 4th toe bypassing any feeling in the area which is still numb between the toes and just slightly beneat the 2 toes. Also, when I lightly rub the top of my foot anywhere from the middle of the foot on toward the toes, I have nerve sensitivity and tingling. Are these tingles and sticking sensations typical? And if not are they likely to remain or eventually go away? I still cannot walk barefoot as the pressure on the area beneath the 3/4th toes also creates the sticking problem. Please let me know your thoughts and thank you!
