REMEDIES NEEDED
01/24/2010: Lutie from Louisville, Kentucky: "Morton's Neuroma is something I have not seen addressed here, but is so very common. Has anyone used apple cider vinegar or hydrogen peroxide to alleviate horrendous and constant pain associated with this very common disease? I am trying to eliminate the pain with ACV (1 Tablespoon in small glass of filtered water). HELP!"

You can try to stretch out your own foot, trying with your fingers to get deep into the tissue. Rolling your foot on golf balls can also help to relieve the pain."
02/07/2010: Jennifer from Chillicothe, Ohio replies: "I, too, have had Mortons neuroma. I went to a podiatrist who took and adhesive pad about 1/4 of an inch thick beveled the edges and placed it on the insole of my shoe, directly behind my toes to the side of the ball of my foot. The purpose was to cause a sort of arch along the pad of my foot. It worked. That was a couple of years ago and without a landmark on my foot to go by, its sort of hard to find the spot myself. I may end up going back just so he will show me where it needs to go."

01/04/2011: Rebeccakov from Dover, Ma replies: "Best thing I did were stretches. Get a "Step Stretch" from a running store and stretch the back of your calf. Somehow it's all connected. A few weeks of doing that 1-2x a day and I felt major improvement. I still do it occasionally and wear orthotics a few times a week (esp. When running). I can wear a variety of shoes (w/ or w/o orthotics), as long as the toe box is wide and they don't hurt when I test them out. Good luck! "
03/27/2011: Mooseybandito from 98042, Seattle, Wa replies: "After suffering for 6 months, dropping my heels and going to flats, taking off work, ice, and everything else known to man... I had to come up with something was because I was taking my kids to Disneyland and couldn't fathom using a scooter. I had read somewhere about using EFT (not a supplement). I hestantly and not really thinking it would work, began tapping. Within hours my foot improved and within weeks it was gone! I only did a few times and had success. It's been 9 months now and I am back in my heels with no problems to report. Boy was that painful. I recently used alpha lapoic acid for a really bad nerve problem in my tooth.... I wonder if that would have helped the foot. It worked amazing on my tooth - better than all those pain meds the doctor gave me."
11/08/2011: Johnna from Lawndale, Nc replies: "Can you please explain how the EFT tapping is done for this ailment? Thank you"
