Context: Neuroma is both feet for the past 3 months due to incorrect positioning while doing lunges. I am flat footed. Iced forefoot for 10 mins three times a day for 6 weeks. I can now walk pain free 4 k steps with BREAKS. Orthotics, altras, stretching, metatarsal pads - done it all. I am not overweight nor diabetic. Doctor thinks I am in acute stage (and not chronic) so hopefully the neuritis will resolve fully.

Question:

1. For those of you with chronic neuroma, does the sock in toe and then pain trigger depending on load or is it there all the time?

2. Would ablation/surgery be the only option moving forward if neuritis doesn't resolve fully?

Thank you.
