What Is The Recovery Time For Mortons Neuroma?

I am 2 weeks post-op for Mortons Neuroma removal. The incision was done from the top, 3rd and 4th web space. I am having a lot of the same discomfort as before. The same area on the bottom of my foot is still painful to walk on. Also, the top of my foot and last 2 toes are now numb. I was warned about the numbness. But, I was told I would have immediate relief from the bottom of my foot since the nerve was being removed. In your opinion, will this pain in the bottom of my foot go away?
