Dr. Mitnick, thank you for your reply. The MN surgery I referred to was surgery to remove a Morton's neuroma from between 3rd and 4th toes on left foot. The foot does look better after the bunion surgery and where the bunion was doesn't hurt much. Its mainly the arch of that foot and along the top outside. My dr. didn't recommend therapy for either surgery. I asked him on my last visit if I could expect this to get well or at least better and he said 'possibly'. That's encouraging. He only said that if this didn't help the next time we'd have to go through the bottom to do surgery again. I'm afraid that would only make it worse. I don't have a problem with shoes. I've had to wear 'ugly' shoes for years because I will not wear a pair that hurt my foot! Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Dear Dr.Mitnick
I usually do my research on the Mayo clinic website. I think your website is the most informative site I have found when researching foot pain.
I thank you for putting together this incredible website.

First, I want to let you know that you have the best web site I've found related to foot issues. (The only thing I had difficulty finding was the "ask a question" page.)

I received the orthotics Monday afternoon and began wearing them Tuesday. After two days I would say that I have noticed a huge improvement in the discomfort I have been experiencing. My foot feels better than it has in months.

I greatly admire someone like you who would donate and dedicate so much time and effort to helping strangers with no compensation. Truly, it is uncommonly kind. And your site is so intelligently arranged.

I used to work for a podiatrist (front desk) back during summers in college years ago, so I know the benefits of good care. Again, I want to thank you for an EXCELLENT website. It was so great to get to your site (top of google search) and actually find all the answers I needed EASILY and QUICKLY! Clearly you put a ton of work into it and I really appreciate it.
All the best,

By the way, millions of websites could use yours as a guideline on how to organize information and make the site user-friendly. Kudos to you!
