Hello all- I had a neuroma removed from lift foot in January. All seemed to go well- except the podsiatrist stitched my foot w/a bit of a fold up closest to the toes saying that as the incision healed that would spread out and be a better scar. I have healed with the skin staying gathered... And it is a hardened area that can be quite painful. Any suggestions beyond removing it are welcome. (I am considering having that done.)
The other problem is that if I am wearing very stiff bottomed shoes the bottom of my foot becomes very tender and puffy, not unlike 3 months out of sugery, but I had thought it would be much better by now. I have no fat pads on my feet and the podiatrist says that is my problem. It is discouraging that what seemed like such a good idea has not completely resolved. Has Anyone else had problems w/recurrent swelling.
I intend to have my right foot done in October- neuroma and a minor bunion. The bunion is not a major issue, but it is occasionally painful and has made changes in the last six months, so I am assumung it will get worse. Apparently the surgery is easier the more minor it is.I am also going to a different doctor!
This site has been very informative to look through. If anyone has any thoughts on any of my "issues" feedback would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes to all.Who ever thought we'd have to deal w/our feet!
