Neuroma

It helped me a lot to wear shoes with a wider toe box and metatarsal pads. Also, I looked closely at the shoes I was wearing when I wasn't running and tried to make sure I was choosing good, supportive shoes all the time. I guess high heels don't really apply to you :wink:

but avoiding those helped me a lot, too.

Thanks for the info and I only wear High Heels about once a decade after many beers. :laugh:

I see my orthapedic guy next Monday for a final check on my broken left foot. I'll have him check out the neuroma on the right one then.

Turns out it's Metatarsalitis.....The doctor gave me an Rx for Orthotics w/ metatarsal pads.

This is what I have been dealing with on/off since Feb. The orthotics should help. Also, avoid walking barefoot around the house. I wear flip/flops for the cushion. www.myfootshop also has some great met pads you can add to other shoes.

Thanks Becky, I'll check it out as I need some pads for my dress shoes.
