Dr Jon Risser, DPM

About a year ago, I saw Dr. Risser for a problem that I had been having in my right foot. He examined my foot and diagnosed it as morton’s neuroma and suggested that I get a cortisone shot in my foot to reduce the swelling in my nerve. Dr. Risser was very nice and I felt that he did a good job keeping me calm while he administered the cortisone shot. However, I wish he had better prepared me for what to expect after getting the cortisone shot. My foot was numb for about a week after I got the shot and about 3 weeks later, my condition was actually worse.
Later, I ended up seeing a neurologist who did electrical nerve conduction tests on my foot, which showed that I actually had tarsal tunnel instead. After getting a different diagnosis, I went through physical therapy and made other changes which helped my foot to recover.
