Sorry to hear about your neuroma. I too had one in the right foot. I tried every treatment known to mankind. Nothing worked for more than a few weeks. This too shall happen to you. I had all the shots of cortisone and even meds to disintegrate the nerve via injections. Nothing worked completely, not even orthotics. So, I took the plunge and had the surgery. NOT the old style of digging out the neuroma. IT comes back. Talk to your pod and ask for the referral to a surgeon that does interligamental release. I was off my feet for a week, back on the bike in 6 weeks. The rest time will do you good, you will survive, and much luck to you in your cycling endeavors.

Sincerely,
NFields
