Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Foot Post Surgery

I had a neuropathy removed from my right foot, between my third and fourth toes, 17 months ago. The pain in the vein where it was removed is still very dilated and bulges, it burns and stings, and it has severe pain. The pain is made worse when I walk or put any pressure on my foot. The only relief I receive is by icing it. What can I do to remove the pain?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you may have developed neuroma in the leg. This is common after nerve surgery. If there is such neuroma it can be treated with steroid injection.
Some time there is need to re surgery. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
