Hi Steff:
First I went to where you said to go heelsours.com, then I laughed and realized you meant to type heelspurs.com

So I went there. It's all about heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, etc. Then I hit the message boards. I scrolled down and found a thread titled "other uses".

I took that to mean, cryosurgery for other uses besides heel spurs". I was correct.

I happened upon this thread:

So I read this post and the replies.

All this told me was that one person with neuropathy asked her doctor if the crysosurgery would work and he said "no, leave it alone".

When all the doctors tell Alan that, then I assume he will leave it alone. But if there's a chance that this podiatrist/surgeon who specializes in cryosurgery, well, if he examines Alan and thinks it's a good idea, Alan will probably go for it. As long as the insurance gives him an out of network permission to be seen by this doctor.

If it doesn't than I gather Alan will not proceed further. It's completely up to him. He's the one with pain between the toes. I only have burning of my feet when stress hits me.

Right now, he's lying in the living room shaking his right foot and trying to take a nap. It's not working. I now will go in, take off his shoe and sock and put the cotton balls between his toes. He'll be out like a light in 5 minutes.
Works every time. He just doesn't remember to do this.

Sucks getting old. ...lol

Hope your pain level is tolerable.

PN Sucks, this I know.
