Suggest Treatment For Pain In Foot Pad And Neuroma In Toes
I have a noroma on 2nd and 3rd toes on right foot and also have pain in my foot pad (feels mushy and painful). I have had a CT scan acknowleging this and am waiting to see a dr. right now. I am wearing orthotics which help, but cannot go without them. What will the Dr. (Dr. Bridge) do about this?
Hi. You have a neuroma 2nd and 3 rd toes (R) and pain in foot pad, orthotics are helping you in pain. With this condition in , acknowledged in CT Scan ,I would investigate further with MRI. In painful Neuromas I would give local infiltration of steroids to reduce their activity and since the foot pad pain is part of the same process, it will be relieved also. If there is no relief with local steroids then i woiuld go for operation.
