neuroma-surgey concern
(3 discussions)
I have 5 mm neuroma between 2 & 3 toe.
It is very painful, responded first to injections but not now.
(Also on vioxx).
Am very concerned because I only seem to read negative results & my podiatrist wants to do surgery.
I am nurse & on feet a lot.
What is percentage of poisitive results & long term results? Thank you.

MY WIFE HAS HAD THREE SURGERIES ON HER LEFT FOOT. SHE WAS RECIEVING CORTAZONES SHOTS THEN DEHYDRATED DONE ALCOHOL ASUMING THAT THEY WOULD WORK. APPARENTLY THE DOCTOR STATES THAT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SURGERIES THE BETWEEN HER 2&4th DIGITSULTIMATELY WHAT CAN SCARE TISSUE IS WHATS CAUSING THE TREMUNDOS AMOUNT OF PAIN AND NOTHING IS BETTER. HER LAST SURGERY WAS IN FEBURARY OF 2012. THE NEUROMA WAS BETWEEN HER 2&3 DIGITS IT WAS ABOUT HALF THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THANKYOU
