Pain free

I still have the neuroma, and sometimes get discomfort, but the pain is gone and it's no longer constantly on my mind.

Have had for pain for years. Finally got bad enough to see a podiatrist. He told me it was a neuroma and there was nothing to be done except to remove it surgically.

Didn't listen. Gear I purchased:

-foot roller

-ankle brace

-wide toe spacers

-correct toes

-toe spacing socks

-single toe spacers

-wide shoes

-toe socks

Was in pain for about two months. Each day the pain eased. The correct toes and wide shoes were excellent together. Eventually I replaced the multi toe spacer with the single spacer. Now, that's all I use (with wide shoes). Everything else was a waste of money.

Some amount of pain can be fixed immediately with wider toe box shoes. However, the swelling and pain reduction is slow overall, and will take months.

Gear I recommend:

-wide shoes

-single toe spacer (the one pictured)

Good luck
