Phantom left foot pain

I had Morton’s Neuroma surgery 1-1/2 years ago to address terrible left foot pain. It was in the usual spot between the 3rd & 4th metacarpal heads. It was supposed to take care of this pain.

and it did, for a while. I definitely have lost some feeling in my toes since the surgery involves excising nerve tissue.

unfortunately my foot pain is back in the same spot. It is brought on my compression of my foot while riding mostly. I try to relieve it by pulling up and I take 500mg of naproxen and massage my feet & apply thick bath & body works Shea butter foot cream prior to rises. I have some Swiftwick socks that help. But nothing is helping much.

i am going to call my podiatrist back but wondered if folks have any suggestions on anything that can reduce this “hot foot” pain. Once it starts during a ride I practically need to dismount & contort and stretch my foot in different ways but this only gives short term relief.
