I have 2 neuroma (between 2/3 metatarsal) and between 3/4 metatarsal. I have been injected with a solution for 2 years (3 consecutive months). This provided relief for awhile, but the pain always returned.This summer the pain started and I iced the foot for relief. When I contacted my Podiatrist he informed me we should remove the neuromas, however this surgery is not to remove the nerve condition as he says I will get quite a bit of numbness. His solution is an 1/8" cut over each toe, sever the toes and replace them in ahigher positon so the nerve will not be affected and I will get relief. It seems rather radical as the nerve has quieted somewhat but it always returns. Is this the only relief? Will the pad help? Will I have to wear them forever? I am an extremely active Sr. who plays golf EVERY day, I hate to take the time off and go thru the pain if this is not the best cure. Please advise. Should I get a 2cd opinion?
There are several steps you can try prior to surgery. Orthotics, Sclerosing therapy, and Radio-frequency Ablation should all be attempted prior to neuroma excision. Furthermore while the 3 inter space neuroma is common, the 2 interspace is rare and frequently misdiagnosed. more likely is a capsulitis of the 2 and 3rd metatarsalphalangeal joints. | 5 Sep, 2011 6:07 PM |
: : I have this horrible scar on my forth toe. I have been trimming my own corn for years. Now it has a big circular scar, that continues to need trimming because of skin hardening. I want to know if I can get the corn removed along with getting rid of the discolored evidence of the corn scar?
The general answer is yer however that's tough to answer without seeing it... if you like, text a picture of it to 917 284 5096 and then I can discuss it with you | 5 Sep, 2011 6:08 PM |
