Had my foot looked at for the chronic pain I've been having. Turns
Out to be "Morton's Neuroma". Basically it's an inflammation and irritation of the nerves between the joints in the ball of your foot. Really sensitive between the 2nd and 3rd toe on the foot.
Doc gave me a cortisone shot between the toes today for it which I was kind of nervous about. I am not afraid of needles but the idea of one between the toes makes me shudder! Turns out it's really not bad. I actually didn't even feel it except for a quick burning for a split section when he did the injection.
My foot is aching something fierce right though and the area is pretty swollen but they said some Aleve should take care of it.
He said it would take about a week for full effect but if I still have pain in 3-4 weeks to come back and see the foot surgeon
For more specialized look at it
