I'm frankly surprised it's taken this long to do surgery on these neuromas. We knew they were there and causing pain; why not get rid of 'em? (Oddly enough, MRI shows NO evidence of neuroma in 2d interstice. Previous diagnosis by previous doctor said I had 'em in both 2d and 3d on each foot. Maybe new doctor waited just because of this kind of thing -- be sure before wielding scalpel.)

Must remember to ask more questions about good self-care for those tendons and the plantar plate.
