Shoes. I love shoes. What woman doesn’t? Some men have a secret love of shoes, too. For years, I couldn’t wear most of the newest styles because of foot pain. I suffered from a neuroma in my foot. A neuroma is a nerve that bunches up usually between the third and fourth toe. It causes enormous amounts of pain. Most shoe styles, unless the shoe box was wide enough around that area, were uncomfortable.

What to do about it? I got cortisone shots and they didn’t help. I got a series of seven alcohol –based shots over a period of about two months. It was supposed to deaden the pain and it didn’t work. I had foot surgery where the neuroma was removed, and that has helped. Here is how to recover fast from this foot surgery.
