Finally broke down and went to the Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner about my foot. The good news, bones and joints look good. The bad news, big neuroma, as I suspected. She
said "I know you don't want to hear this, but you aren't going to win this one without surgery" Dang. Anybody had surgery for this? My Sister has had 3 foot surgeries so am depressed.
However, the NP did say the current surgery is to cut the neuroma out and then move the nerve to the side of the foot to take the pressure off.

I opted for a steroid shot to buy some time so I can do more research. So any Web MD's please chime in.

Also have to invest in new cycling shoes, I am going to try on a friends Pearl Izumi's as my "running" shoes are PI and the toe box is wide (Plus we have an account with PI so can get at cost) if they are wide enough and stiff enough.

On a more positive note, the Owyhee Wilderness Ranger came in the shop yesterday and invited us on his "leave no trace" certification bike trip in two weeks!!!
