Gait abnormality: The pain from the morton neuroma is probably making you walk funny. This is putting stress on the tendons around the ankle joint and can cause new problems. Make sure that your shoes are wide enough not to squeeze the neuroma, which is a swelling of the nerve between the bones of the foot.. A normal gait has to be part of any solution.

Clarification : Neuromas aren't related to ankle pain and you don't relate whether your condition might need hardware (probably not) or if it's related to hardware (in the 'right' place it could be). Follow up with clarification.
