How long will i be out of work after foot neuroma surgery?

2 days- 2weeks: This depends how your podiatrist will perform the procedure and the type of job that you do. If you stand or run quite often in your job, you will be out for a few weeks. If you have a sedentary job, usually just a few days off of work is all that is necessary.

Depends: There are different procedures for this. Sometimes, the doctor only cuts the ligament which the nerve gets entrapped on. Other times, the nerve itself is cut out. In the former the incision is tiny and can be done between the toes and the person can be ambulatory immediately. In the latter, it would depend on factors such as if incision is made on top or bottom of foot. Simply, ask your surgeon.

Depends on your job: If you can wear a surgical shoe and elevate your foot and sit at work, you could be back in a few days.
