I would like to know if anyone has ever had surgery for toe neuroma and been able to wear really high pointed toe shoes again?

Neuromas and shoes: Neuromas are usually benign nerve tumors of the feet frequently from wearing tight shoes or trauma. If conservative treatment fails, a surgical one can be recommended with a caveat don't wear tight shoes again because another neuroma may occur next to the one that was removed. Take caution in choosing the height of your heels; heels should not be more than 3 inches tall due to your spine.
