hi there i suffered from a spur myself in my foot which was extremely painfull and resulted in a tendon and nerve release last year which has now left me with nerve damage in my foot and ankle .They never removed the spur which had caused the problem in the first place .I now have to go through a nerve block which involves the circulation being cut off to my foot which i have heard isnt very pleasant and i have to stay awake during the whole procedure.Have they said if they are going to remove your wifes spur? ali

lol - friend
Well, that's sort of the question. One doc said they needed to be removed, the other said no. So of course insurance wants to fight it. I am curious why they don't just remove spurs anyway? My other friend also has a spur on her heel and it causes probs with her tendons too.....why not just remove the cause instead of treating the symptoms it causes?
Anyone have cryoneurolysis? quote"This technique uses extreme cold (minus 70-180 degrees F) to freeze nerves in an ice ball, thereby interrupting transmission along that nerve for up to 3 months. " ???
