Aching feet is nothing compared to MN. Generally speaking most people with MN suggest it's like walking on a pebble or a rolled up sock just under the base of your toes but symptoms vary greatly. I have 2 x MN in my right foot and had one in my left foot that I have had removed. The 2 in my right foot have been decompressed but I still have a high amount of pain. Most of my pain presents itself as severe stinging in all of my toes that spreads across the whole foot. It took me over 4 years to get a diagnosis after suffering for 10+ years and it was diagnosed by someone who specialises in MN with a physical examination for the Mulder's click and then an ultrasound by someone very skilled in looking for them.

thank you very much for the info. By the sounds of it I don't have MN. I have severely osteoarthritic feet, plus bone spurs throughout as well as neuropathy. From the top of my ankle or if you like the bottom of my leg where it joins the ankle to the tips of my toes I'm a complete mess.I have a podiatrist that thinks he's God's gift to the universe and is pushing me into custom orthotics as well as this type of runner that has a metal tube? in the sole going all the way around the runner. Red flag #1 I don't have $1300 to drop on A-custom orthotics that I've had before and didn't work not to mention the blisters and B-runners that are going to do a major number on the tops of my feet because that's where the piles of bone spurs are. Try tying a runner and being comfy with that. You can't because it's not possible. Red flag #2 after the last appt I was in tears when I got back to the car. I was trying to explain to him I've tried this, that and the other. Plus I've tried......and he cut me off and said I don't care about those things let's deal with now. How am I supposed to feel like I've been heard if he just brushes me off? I cried because I was frustrated not because I was sad. Red flag #3 my insurance only covers $100 a year for podiatrist appts and very limited coverage on orthotics. I'm on LTD and CPPD so funds are very limited. Sorry to have rambled on.
no need to apologize Hun. I had so many tests and things they wanted me to try to see if they could work out what was wrong. Injections and orthotics, but these were so very painful when I tried them. Obviously not too bad for us in the UK as we don't have to pay for them but it's so frustrating having foot pain of any kind. I hope you eventually get some relief
