Kelley, Sorry to hear that your mother is having these issues with her feet. It's always easy to take our feet for granted when we're pain free.
If you'd like to find out more about some of the advances over the past decade in terms of podiatric surgery, you may want to visit UCLA's Web site where they discuss a process called arthroscopy as well as another type of surgery. I was also able to find information on surgeries and procedures from the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons through their search function. I will also pass along the name of the doctor who performed my own foot surgery and although I had some sensitivity for up to a year following the procedure, I would say overall, I can't tell I had anything done. I have no pain unless I bump up against something. Finally, I have forwarded your question to our resident foot expert, who is very well respected in her field.
