Morton’s Neuroma Surgery

I had surgery in May 2014 as I had Morton’s Neuroma. I thought that finally I was going to be able to walk without pain. For about a month the only pain I had was from the surgery. Around a month after surgery I started getting the same old pain back. It is now 5 months past surgery and the pain I had prior to surgery is back and causes severe pain, especailly after walking long distances. Why did the surgery go wrong as I heard it had good results? Do I need another surgery? Did the orthopedist leave some of the neuroma?

    An MRI might indicate more. A podiatrist specializes in the foot and ankle. A podiatrist can have different suggestions on how to treat a foot problem, both condervative and surgical. A general orthopedist does the whole body. A foot orthopedist overlaps with the podiatrist, but tends to look at the problem more surgically oriented. Please be aware that this is only a generalization, and can vary from person to person.
