Morton's Neuroma : did RFA worked for you?
I’ve had a Morton’s neuroma for 4 years. It developed after I ran the SaintéLyon. I didn’t realize what was wrong, so I kept running with it for a few months. After getting an imaging test, it measured 5 mm. I took a 2-year break from running, had some injections, and started wearing only Altra shoes.
My second sport is rock climbing. I don’t wear very tight climbing shoes, but my foot is still under some compression.
After a gradual return to running over the course of a year and a half, I started increasing my distances. The neuroma became painful again, to the point where it prevented me from running more than 25 km.
I just had an appointment at the hospital about radiofrequency ablation.
The doctor told me she didn't have enough feedback to guarantee that it would work. I don't have any pain on a day-to-day basis, so I'm skeptical. She advised me to go ahead with it anyway. I'm afraid it might make the pain worse or be useless.
My neuroma is 16mm, Doctor says that it's not that much ... is she right ?
Did it work for you? Were you able to run again without pain? Tell me anything which could give me some hope 😄
