Re: neuroma

[Guest guest]

Deni,

Yes, I had a neuroma on my right foot (top) - near my third/fourth toe about 20

years ago. Lots of pain in walking, just wearing shoes, etc. Went to an

orthopedist who specializes in feet - had one shot of cortisone, and that took

it away. No trouble since - I suspect maybe because I wear orthotics and my feet

are better aligned and supported.

Deni;

I've had neuromas on both feet, what you describe certainly sounds like neuroma.

(nerve is pinched, causes it to swell). The only other thing I

know about 'em, they hurt like all get out.

Hang in there!

That is what is so great about this group. I love the sharing, we learn so much

from each other. I will let you know how I make out with these feet.

God Bless

Yep, and that is what this group did best when it started, it not only discussed

our diseases and shared information on them but we also shared many of life's

problems we have had along the way. That is what a support group is all about,

helping each other through whatever life throws at us from time to time.

Our diseases play a big part in how we react to the world around us and how

they, especially family, react to us.

I remember in the early days, the discussions we had about having handicapped

stickers on our cars and folks reporting us for parking in a handicapped zone

and there was nothing wrong with us. That is a huge problem with everything

involved with these diseases, they are many times not noticable to others unless

we hand a sign on our necks saying disabled. I did that to a referee at a

basketball game once when playing Jake, gave him a white cane and large glasses

along with a large handicapped card around his neck. No sense of hummer at all

in him. Got me tossed from the college gym for 4 games.
