What happens after Morton’s neuroma hydrodissection?
Short answer: Hydrodissection is generally a same-day procedure. Patients can usually walk afterwards, with short-term modification of pressure and activity according to discomfort and the treatment plan.
Temporary soreness, bruising, numbness or a pain flare can occur. Less common risks include bleeding, infection, nerve irritation, allergic reaction and failure to improve.
Follow-up focuses on walking tolerance, shoe comfort and nerve symptoms. Improvement may evolve rather than occur immediately, and rehabilitation of contributing mechanics may continue.
