Update on 3/4 interspace neuroma on my right foot, after having had mirror image neuroma removed nearly 20 years ago.

I had an injection done by the ortho MD’s PA - and I could tell she didn’t do it right. She had my foot up in the air, not braced, and she placed the injection under the skin, raising a big fluid bump, instead of deep down where the neuroma is. The injection didn’t help at all. Next I went to a podiatrist in NYC who has made me two sets of orthotics, each of which was not right. One felt as if the “bump” was placed right behind my 2nd metatarsal head, caused pain. The second had a much larger bump placed too far back, caused a tarsal boss (a bump on the top of your arch).

I honestly don’t know what my next step is, since I just cannot go through that long a recovery again. I’m wearing only a pair of huge Skechers that seem to feel comfortable - I literally don’t take a step without having them on. God only knows what I’ll wear to kid’s graduation or various other dress up events.
