Neuromas
Neuromas
A neuroma is a benign growth on the nerve. It is due to trauma
pressing on the nerve causing it to swell and be permanently damaged.
This condition is frequently seen between the 3-4 toes but can occur anywhere.
The patient usually complains of severe burning, pain, cramping and numbness
of the foot. The pain is so severe that it can cause the patient
to stop walking. Treatment consists of wide shoes, anti-inflammatory
medication and cortisone injections. However, in my experience, 99%
of the patients require surgery to remove the neuroma.
