Anyone else deal with a neuroma of the foot?

I have given up running as it creates foot pain for me due to a neuroma. I need to get past that. I also know if I lose weight then my neuroma doesn’t act up as much. I just want to get Back to training. I have run four half marathons and still have a dream of running at least one full marathon.

I had something I assumed was a neuroma that I had to baby for a year or more. At some point, I had some other traumatic injury that kept me inactive for a few months. The neuroma pain just went away.

Another friend of mine (very fast runner, sub 2:30 marathon guy) had his surgically removed. He lost a year of running, but recovered completely.

My husband had Morton's Neuroma. It's often caused by shoes that are too narrow, so that is the first thing you need to work on. A pad or insert can often help. Go to a doctor to see if you need an orthotic. Surgery is a last resort, because it cuts the nerve, so you lose feeling in the bottom of your foot. That can have consequences.

I had/ve neuroma. I just stopped running for two weeks and it gets better. If I do my long runs back to back then it comes back.
