I've written the Morton's Neuroma book!

Hey everyone,
Shane here. Just a heads up as this will be one of the final posts on this blog. A while back I decided to write a book which will basically serve as the platform, in addition to the Facebook page I created a while back. Facebook is an easier platform to update, share, and has better reach than this website when it comes to speed and control.

All that to say, there might be one more post on this blog, and then everything after that will be on our Facebook page, so please reference that, along with the book that I will be publishing in September 2018 (coming very soon)!

In the book, the details will be very clear on what I did, what options you should know about, and it's been condensed for easy reading. Anyone over the age of 10 will be able to read it - there are no crazy doctor-level words to make me sound smart - it's all in plain English, and can serve as a great guide if you or someone you know is wresting with Morton's Neuroma.

Be blessed,
Shane

Update! Exciting things around the corner!

Hey friends,
So, I hope all is well with you across the globe. It's kind of crazy to know that this blog literally has global traffic from all "developed" countries. When I look at my analytics dashboard, it's just further proof to me that people are in serious need of help with Morton's Neuroma. Which brings me to what I believe is good news.

I'm going to be writing a book, and along with the book, create a Facebook page. The book will cover info from the blog, but it will flow better, and the Facebook page will function as somewhat of a supplement to the book, but will also have the other interactive elements that simply are not that great on a blog site.

So, chime in with any thoughts or comments. I'm planning on having the ebook done first, and it will be available on Kindle around the new year or shortly after, and once I have a publish date, the Facebook page will immediately follow.

Have a great night!
Shane

Ugly, ugly pride

So, I felt like sharing this, because as I have pointed out, most of the public just goes along with just about any doctor's advice without doing ANY research on root causes, natural remedies, or alternatives toward restoration.

The other day my wife was at work, and a woman was walking with a limp and she and my wife started talking.  Turns out the lady has a Morton's Neuroma.  
So, my wife, who is super approachable, starts to mention how I HAD one, and how I healed it going the route of getting out of conventional shoes, going zero-drop, and also walking barefoot whenever I can.  The lady immediately starts to go down the road of, "Well, my foot doctor is one of the top doctors in the nation, and he said I should NEVER walk barefoot."  And my wife patiently tried to give some explanation as to why being barefoot can help splay the toes naturally and relieve the stress and pressure against the neuroma.  She just wouldn't listen.  Pride is a killer.

My guess is, based on my research and experience, that she is going to probably get the resection, and will likely be similar to many people that either get the stump growth and pain, or end up losing mobility of the foot...among other possibilities.  It pains me to say that, because there is a better way.  

Stay vigilant, and stay humble!  

Onward,
Shane

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say thanks for reading and hopping on this blog.  I really hope it has been of some encouragement for you or someone you know that might be dealing with Morton's Neuroma.  It's such a pain, but I believe many people can get the solution they need by following some of the advice I have listed throughout this blog, whether from my own experiences or the professionals named or products/procedures listed.  I'm MN free, and I think tons of people out there can be restored without surgery.

Anyway, as we enter into Christmas and a New Year, I just wanted to wish you all an amazing time during your celebrations with friends, family, churches, companies, schools, etc.  Hopefully none of you end up with the Jelly of the Month Club memberships, but if you do, make the most of it!  

Bless you all,

Shane

Feedback from you!

Hi everyone,
All is well on this end with the PAST Morton's Neuroma...but I wanted to check in with all of you, my readers from various countries, to see how things were going.  I get emails and Google Hangout blips from time to time, but I would love to hear a few things from YOU:

• Are you currently struggling with a painful MN?
• What have you investigated so far, in terms of correction?
• Are any of you using any of the shoes I have listed?
• Have any of you done the sclerosing, and if so, how is that going?
• How did you find this blog?
• Has this blog been of any help?
• Or any other info you want to share.

As I mentioned, my neuroma is completely gone.  I have been able to run and lift in my VFF (my favorite shoe for Arizona) frequently.  It is such a blessing to be able to say that and share that success.  Hopefully you are able to share in it as well.

God speed,

Shane

Listen to your toes - a lightbulb moment

So, I was just taking look at my toes yesterday, June 19, 2014, now that my foot is getting back to proper anatomy and feeling way better, and I realized that the callouses I had on each pinky toe, on the bottoms, are gone.  You see, I had these callous shapes of an upside down triangle, I guess that would be the easiest way to imagine it/describe it, on each pinky toe.  As far back as I can remember, I had those things and I never thought anything of it!  So, from a symptom side of things, my toes were "telling" me that my footwear was too tight in the toe box!  I'm so ticked I did not think to pause and ponder that back then.  It was an opportunity for what could have been a great Aha! moment.  But it might still help one of you readers.

So, for those of you that are familiar with the general symptoms, please check the toes of your kids, because I know for sure had the callouses when I was in high school playing football, as well as during college football.  Not to mention, I had the callouses even in the off season when I wasn't in cleats, which means I haven't been in correctly fitting shoes, athletic or otherwise, for more than 18 years.  So, long story short - I think the callous check should be added to the medical symptoms board for Morton's Neuroma.

Happy Healing!
