Hi Ann
just read your post about Mortons Neuroma which I've had one diagnosed by an ultrasound scan on my left foot. I need to go back to gp for full results but the consultant who did the scan said 'cortisone or operation', neither of which is appealing! Ive just ordered 2 tubs of Serrapeptase and will give it a try! I'm limping a round at the moment and I its affecting my other foot, knee, hips and neck! I feel about 60 years old. I'll let you know how I get on and if it works

There are many mis-diagnosis of Mortons, mostly because the flexor hallicus longus tendon has come out of its groove. I have seen many mis-diagnosis.

Flexor hallicus what??? You have taught me something here Jon - thank you
I wonder if it was mis-diagnosed they would still offer the same options of treatment for Flexor h?

Hi Phil,

It looks like this Mortons Neuroma is beginning to get around a bit!

I expect you will have bought the 40,000 one and really wish you well in getting better. But, like I say, try and rest it as much as poss.

Ann, the fhl tendon runs under the foot to all toes. There is a small groove at the base of each toe that the tendon fits into, when it misplaces, relatively easily, it usually goes back in easily also. Tight fitting shoes can cause it to displace. When it does displace, it causes pain and inflamation, and is often misdiagnosed as mortons. Manipulation of the toes can actually allieviate the problem. As I said, I have seen many diagnosed mortons, but were actually the displacement of the fhl tendon. Eliminated in 2 mins.

Hello all! I fully agree with the foot manipulation regarding the Morton's neuroma [mis] diagnosis to pop the hl tendon back into place. Additionally, by working and releasing/stretching the hl muscle as well as the plantar muscles, the pressure on the nerves is released, and circulation is restored, and actual healing can occur. The nerves that have inflammed are calmed, and the pain and "wadded sock" feeling disappears. YEA! How do I KNOW this? I'm walking painlessly--and without said 'wadded up sock' in shoe! PS The podiatrist and MD wanted to do the cortisone injections, and ultimately REMOVE a nerve or two from the plantar surface of my foot. No thank you.
Warmly, Barbara! 8^)

Hi Everyone

thanks for all the great information on a problem i have been having for several months...i came across this site which was the first to actually give some self healing methods which i was looking for...the other options are not an option for me....i too dealt with a doctor who doesn't seem to know anything about this condition...Barbara...how do you actually work and release the hl tendon?

Ann...i purchased the sep..on the weekend and have starting taking it...i'm hoping i have the same results as you did...

thanks again and i will report back with my progress...

Hi,

I am pleased that you have found HL has been helpful to you Spiritguided, and that you are trying the Serrapeptase. Don't forget to take it at the correct dosage.

I do think however, that Jon and Barbara's information on the fhl tendon is important to follow, if you can find a practitioner.

Let us know how you get on and .....good luck!!

A good Reflexologist should be able to help you with this, like Jon I have treated several instances with success.

I was diagnosed with Morton's Neuroma about 6 weeks ago after being unable to walk without limping for about 6 weeks.My foot was extremely painfull and doctors were treating it as a stress fracture until ultrasound found it to be Morton's.As I didn't relish the prospect of either steroid injections or surgery I looked around for a natural remedy that might cure the problem.I stumbled across Robert Redfern's website and after reading the many testimonials decided that it was worth a try.He recommended a high dose for a week and then 1-2 tablets a day after that to get it under control fast.Well amazingly after about 3 or 4 weeks it was feeling much better (as long as I didn't walk on it too long) and now after 6 weeks or so I am walking pain free with only the odd twinge when I have walked too far with my dog!I could not have even limped to the bottom of my drive 3 months ago so this to me is a miracle.I am still taking it just for anti-aging (as does Robert Redfern himself) and would recommend it to anyone trying to help any kind of inflammatory problem

Hi Karen,

How lovely to hear that Robert Redfern's Serrapeptase helped you also. If you go to the beginning of this post, I have mentioned there that this is what cured my morton's neuroma also.

Like you, I think it was about 6 weeks when it disappeard. It has still never returned.

Hey Ann

thank you so much for the information i was just looking for specialists to book into a hospital to have an operation but didnt want to wait 12 months, i also have had mortens neuroma for 18 months and cant wear heels or anything and im a girl who loves her heels and feels naked without them.

I was wondering after your dosages were you able to wear heels again or you prefer not to incase you provoke it again.

thanks again i am so glad i came across this website i think you have saved me more pain and money

love your work

Oh Kirsty, the thought of having to put up with that pain for another year!!

I think you should be really careful until it goes, which isn't really that long. I actually discovered mine had gone by accident, and even then I didn't believe it.

Even though I am 5'7, like you I adore wearing high heels. I met a friend for lunch wearing high heeled boots, but had to go shopping afterwards in the town centre so took some flat shoes in the boot of my car.

Thing is...when I parked my car I forgot to put them on, then realised afterwards that I had done all my shopping in my boots! From then on I wore them occasionally.

What I do now is always wear them socially, but not to walk great distances as that might just be tempting fate. I seem to be getting by really well and will be wearing them tonight!

I hope it all goes well for you!
