[pct-l] Insensitive Ogre Foot Syndrome

[jerrygoller at backpackgeartest.org (Jerry Goller)]

 I had the same thing done to both feet (at the same time...... =o( ) a
couple of years ago. I still have problems with my left foot and the balls
of both feet are still sensitive. The area where the scars are still swells
when I hike. 

But they are slowly getting better and now, at least, I can wear shoes
again. Utah was just too cold for sandals.....

Good morning, No Way & Steve,

I lost most of the feeling in several left-foot toes in about 1983, and
fortunately the feeling hasn't come back yet.  I also have Morton's
Syndrome, only mine arches are flatter than a fritter, which I think is more
typical of Morton's.  After trying all the usual stuff first, the only way I
could get rid of the very significant pain of Morton's Neuroma was for the
doc to slit open the foot and cut out the nerve going to those toes.  Good
fix:  I haven't felt much from those toes since.
