The injections are just as painful as cortisone injections...not fun. It sounds like the neuroma was never removed the first time...I doubt it grew back! The simple cure for this condition would be for the doctor to surgically fracture (osteotomy)one of the metatarsal bones impinging on the problem nerve. This procedure would most likely be much less traumatic than what you went through in having the neurome "removed". A metatarsal osteotomy requires no stitches, pins or screws and you are ambulatory immediately. |
