Overview
Surgery is the last resort in the treatment of morton's neuroma. In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove the thickened tissue/affected nerve in order to help release the pressure on the affected nerve, relieve the pain and improve foot function. Permanent nonpainful numbness occurs after surgery if a portion of the affected nerve is removed.
Surgery
- Surgery is the last resort in the treatment of morton's neuroma
- In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove the thickened tissue/affected nerve in order to help:
- Release the pressure on the affected nerve by widening the space through which the affected nerve travels
- Relieve the pain
- Improve foot function
- If a portion of the affected nerve is removed during the surgery, permanent numbness occurs between the toes, but it's not painful
