only had ONE nerve to kill. With Morton's that is the typical situation.

Diabetic Neuropathy however, affects the feet globally, so I don't know it they kill ALL the major nerves or what.

Alan's might be due to compression, with that Taylor's bunion. Squeezing the toes together like that would compress the nerves going down inbetween.

Cryosurgery kills tissue. So it may not come back. Or like some nerves have a habit of doing, they grow back and hurt more. So I don't know if this procedure is "forever" or temporary. One needs to find out more.

Hi Mrs. D. (just pm'd you, by the way).

Believe me, I'm going to find out as much as I can about this crysosurgery thing.

Will update if I do.

Take care,

Been having a devil of a time finding out information about doctors who perform this on the feet.

Well......today, Alan found a doctor affiliated with NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. He does it for Neuromas, and other foot stuff. The doctor was not there but Alan spoke to the girl in the office and he explained exactly what he had going on between his toes and that maybe freezing the nerves would at long last give him some long awaited complete relief.

Well, she was very nice and she wrote everything down. The doctor won't be back there until Monday.

She promised to ask the doctor if he does cryosurgery on people with Neuropathy. That's the big question. They do it for Morton's Neuromas and heel spurs, etc.

So now the plot thickens.

Will update if we hear a positive or anything.

And they accept his insurance.
