Terri:

On occasion your may avoid surgical repair by injecting the area with 2% lidocaine. Sometimes small point-sensitive neuromas may occur and injecting with lidocaine destroys these nerve endings. I've actually had a couple patients that recovered completely with this simple attempt at avoiding surgery. Of course, others have failed the attempt and I've proceeded with exactly what you're proposing...

But, at least it's an attempt at doing something simple to get rid of the symptoms...

Regards,

Philip

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
