Neuromas
Neuromas are more common in ladies 40-60 years of age. The symptoms are usually:
Pain or burning in the ball of foot
Numbness in the toes supplied by the nerve
Shooting pains or cramping sensation
Clicking in foot
Patient feels a need to remove their footwear and massage foot.
Can Neuromas be cured without surgery?
What are the treatment options?
After a clinical diagnosis is made, it may be necessary to send you for an ultrasound scan to confirm the diagnosis.
Initially some patients with less severe symptoms will be offered Cortisone injections, which are 30% successful. If there is no improvement often an excision of the Neuroma will be the treatment of choice.
The operation is very successful (about 80-90%). It is performed as a day case under Local Anaesthesia.
An incision is made on the top of the foot, to ensure you don't have a scar on the sole of your foot, which could potentially be very painful.
The recovery is rapid, and patients are often wearing their own shoes after one week and may return to work after about two weeks.
