[pct-l] Foot back to normal

[Kathi]

My first thought on this is a Mortons Neuroma. What you describe sounds 
exactly like it and when I had that problem it required surgery to fix. 
The first line of treatment were corticosteroid injections which didn't 
help me personally but it does help a lot of people. I would see a doc 
though.
