The dancer had already undergone surgery to treat the problem in November and December 2022, and had to repeat it; understand
Less than a year after undergoing surgery to treat the Morton’s neuroma that affects her, dancer Lore Improta underwent surgery again on Monday (30) to treat the problem.
“Yesterday I had another surgery to improve my Morton’s neuromas and other foot problems, but thank God the recovery is going well!”, wrote the artist on his Instagram.
Morton’s neuroma is a disease that affects patients’ feet, causing pain, tenderness and discomfort in the region. This is a condition that is prevalent in women, is more common after the age of 50 and affects both feet at the same time. Lore is 30 years old, but she has been dancing since she was 9, 21 years old.
In neuroma, an abnormal thickening of the nerves in the feet forms a kind of nodule, which causes pain in patients. The condition can occur due to ongoing damage to the nerves in the region, caused, for example, by wearing high shoes, being overweight, or wearing shoes with thin, flexible soles.
“In addition to pain, the patient suffering from Morton’s neuroma may occasionally also complain of local numbness or tingling,” explains Dr. André Mansano, pain medicine specialist in this report to Terra.
The main symptoms of Morton’s neuroma are:
- Sore feet;
- sensation of shock or discomfort in the soles of the feet;
- burning feet;
- pain that radiates from the soles of the feet to the toes and other parts of the feet;
- swelling on the soles of the feet.
According to the doctor, the diagnosis of Morton’s neuroma is made through clinical evaluation and can be confirmed with imaging tests such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.
Depending on the severity, the neuroma can be treated with analgesics, anti-inflammatories, radiofrequency and ice packs. Some patients are referred for physical therapy, and in more severe cases, surgery is recommended.
This surgical procedure takes about an hour and is performed using local anesthesia. To recover, the patient must keep the foot elevated for a period of time.
