Just wondering if anyone on here has had post op problems after MN surgery?
I don't seem to be recovering as I think I should. It has been a little over 2 1/2 months since surgery. Any and all replys are appreciated.

Without any details as to your problems it is difficult to say. Hoever, my surgeon told me TOTAL recovery could take up to 12 months. He was correct. The receovery from this procedure is not linear. It is up and down. Some good days. some bad. At this point, I was still in Merrell mule type shoes. Dancing without issues was maybe another two weeks out. Heels and flat soled shoes about the same. Jogging was much further out.

I have been wearing my normal (tennis)shoes for a month or longer. That doesn't bother it. My main problem is the sharp, shooting pains that catch me off guard. It also hurts alot after I'm walking and standing alot. It feels frozen all the time. Do you think this is normal? Thanks

The sharp pains are not normal. And it should be somewhat sore after several hours of standing or walking. As for frozen, do mean numb between the two toes? If so, that is normal and will stay that way. The nerve that had the feeling is gone. I am assuming here that you had the neuroma removed...not a decompression.

Yes I had the nerve removed. The frozen feeling is all of my toes on that foot. They weren't like that before. I can rub the bottom of my foot and those 'shocks' will go to my toes. I know that the nerve is no longer there but my brain thinks it is! Should that sensitivity be better by now do you think? How long since your surgery?

Yes, it should be better. I had mine 6 years ago. Great results.

It is physically impossible for all your toes to be numb after having a mortons neuroma removed. It can only affect the opposing sides of the 2 toes where the neuroma was removed. May be a different problem like tarsal tunnel or some other nerve impingement in the low back. The shooting pains can be normal as the end of the nerve where it was cut may still get irritated or may be caught in scar tissue.

All of my toes aren't numb. They just stay cold. The only numb ones are the third and fourth between which the nerve was removed. The end of the nerve is very sensitive still. I've been trying to massage it and it seems to help somewhat. The problem is its hard to make myself touch it because of the pains. The top of the two 'numb' toes feel like they don't have any skin on them! They feel raw if anything touches them.
