A morton's neuroma

Last year I was having pain in the middle part of the ball of my right foot, which started and got progressively worse when I got to 8 or 9 miles and then it became so it was painful all the time. It feels like a hard pea.

Finally saw my doc and was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon. They have diagnosed a Morton's Neuroma (a thickening of a nerve) and the pain has been managed with steroid injections. I am having an operation next Friday to get rid of it. :eek: Just wondering if anyone else has had this done and if so can you let me know what to expect eg: how long before running again etc..

Cheers.
