Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

SMALLZOOKEEPER, About time too. Despite the complete twaddle of the majority of your posts I feel that you have earned a little plug. Why not make it official and put an entry into snowShops. I have no interest in a Snowhead discount as I doubt I shall ever visit Chamonix.
Do you think the use of the abbreviated term "Cham", should be punishable by a good birching.

SMALLZOOKEEPER, about effing time too. Don't think you have ever 'plugged' unintentionally, nor caused any offense (other than your views!). Personally happier with commercial offerings that put 'identity' to a presence ... so suggest you have a bit to learn on the marketing front yet !

Morton's Neuromas x2 metatarsals Mad ...My view is that my feet swelled too much in my shells in warm spring skiing, and when I was last in Chamonix, a bootfitter named Giles from Coquoz Sports ironed out the metatarsal ridge in my footbeds (free), but it was too late, the damage was done!

Neuroma...my favourite for causing pain,
Quote:

ironed out the metatarsal ridge in my footbeds


not quite sure what you mean, normally there should be a dome or pad behind the met heads to spread the shafts a little, this takes the pressure off the swelling on the nerve. positioning is critical and if it is wrong then problems result. some peoples feet are more predisopsed to neuroma than others it depends on the proximity and declination of the metatarsal shafts, if the bones are close together than a very slight compression causes the problem, if the bones are more spread out then it takes a lot more inflamation on the nerve to be noticeable, but when it is don't you just know it. I perform a neuroma check on anyone coming to see me with complaints of forefoot pain.

not to worry they're gone now, just the slight possibility of a stump neuroma at the point that they excised the nerve to Twisted Evil

snowbunny,

neat job,

at least they were good and went in from the top, this is a more complex surgery but the recovery is much quicker, i recently saw someone who had the same op done but through the sole of the foot, only 3 months of hobbling round for her...(seems a stange way to go but i am told it is quite common in some areas of the country)

hope your recovery was not that long.....and make sure you have laods of forefoot space in your boots AND all your shoes

snowbunny,

very neat isn't it. The "sole" approach though, is alleged to be clinically more straightforward, and there is less bruising etc. From the top, the metatarsals are held apart with tools while the surgeon grabs the nerve, and pulls Skullie . The sole of my foot had a black line running from the start of my heel pad up to the base of the toes. I have lost volume in the ball of that foot.

That's a commendably magnanimous attitude, JT, but the problem is that if everyone who gave free advice in this forum spammed the site we'd be a sea of dross.

It's a cardinal rule of publishing that editorial and advertising are physically distinct. Long may that wisdom rule.

Sorry, I missed the name calling here. I was busy writing for a ski magazine, adding further details to the next ESA (in 3 weeks time), and trying to plan the next 3 ESAs, in the hope that we can still get top instructors, bootfitters, etc, together to help skiers have more fun on the slopes, also I've been continuing my administration of a web forum which helps people who are looking for jobs in resorts, and for help when there.
I don;t make any money out of any of these enterprises, I do it for the love of the sport.

(Oh, and any complaints about me plugging the ESA, please refer them to admin, who will let you know about the referral scheme we have going)
