Hello Ellena,
You have posted a most informative reply, my surgical podiatrist at the VA has informed me that surgery is completely out of the question due to my having PN, along with the info you have posted she has informed me that the result of scar tissue would only add gas to the fire of having PN. Since you have gone thru the surgeries my resolve is to treat the neuroma with kid gloves. The majority of articles I have read states that surgery is not a good option unless the neuroma keeps growing therefore disrupting the bone formations. Since having the injection I don't have the PN flair ups any more and that has been a big plus in pain control. Some good advice to all you ladies THROW AWAY THE HIGH HILL SHOES. Wishing you the best
