Answer
Hi Roger,

After Cryosurgery for Mortons neuroma, there will typically be long-term relief for most people.  If the problem that caused the neuroma is relieved, the pain relief can be permanent.  However some require several treatments and repeat treatments.  The nice thing about the surgery is that it is superior to the common surgery for neuroma with less down time and minimal chance of a painful stump neuroma.

So the bottom line is that it is certainly worth having the procedure if other treatments have not worked and certainly consider the treatment instead of traditional surgery.
