Should I Be Concerned About The Pain On Foot Due To Morton S Neuroma?
My podiatrist diagnosed my problem as Morton s Neuroma and Hallux Rigidus and gave me a cortisone injection about an inch above my big toe on the top of my foot yesterday. Today it seems so much worse, I can barely walk and my whole foot burns and aches. Should I give it a few more days or should I call him again on Monday?

It needs to be confirmed that you are really suffering from Morton's neuroma.If itis really so, it needs to be surgically treated.
Hallex Rigidus should be treated by physiotherapy.
kindly avoid local hydro cortison injections.
Rule out Diabetes,gout,vitamin D deficiencyor any other metabolic disorder.
