I had a neuroma removed 9/19/02 and got RSD from that surgery!! It is comming up on 5 years of RSD and still not getting any better.. Im not sure if it was the acutall neuroma surgery that triggered RSD or if was the fact that the doc doing the surgery did it all in 9 mins including anesthisia!! soo?? i am in your club .. not a lucky club or one i really wanted to be in ,,but im in there!! LoL

hi barb,
could be, that since you posted on a holiday weekend with a very specific question, that is why you will get your answers in dribs and drabs ....
i had a neuroma in my left foot removed in may and then in july had my hip replaced causing nerve palsy and that was also the beginning of my rsd many years ago. i do not think the neuroma had anything to do with my rsd.

Hi Barb,
Iam sorry you didn't get the response that you wanted. I have no idea what neuroma is. I've had RSD for 8 years and I am still learning. I
have learned so much from this board, information I could never get from my Docs. What is a neuroma? Your information would be very much appreciated.

A neuroma is a noncancerous (benign) growth of nerve tissue that can develop in various parts of your body. Morton's neuroma occurs in a nerve in your foot, often between your third and fourth toes. The condition isn't a true tumor, but instead involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the digital nerves leading to your toes. Morton's neuroma causes a sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot. Your toes also may sting, burn or feel numb if you have Morton's neuroma
this is the one i had .... hurts like the dickens!!! joan

To all that read my post and are reading again, my deepest apology for being so crabby, I have been in a lot of pain the last few weeks. Also my PMD is not what I thought, all his patients are cookie cutter patients. We all receive the same meds and dosages, the same treatments and you are lucky if he says more than 10 words to you or ever listens about pain and what has worked for you before. This is the 6th PMD I have been to since returning from 12 years in Vegas.

I would like to thank all that answered my post it is appreciated.

To Mary, Amber and Joan, I would like to thank you 3 for answering my post. Also I wanted to say to you 3 that I have another neuroma in my left foot (opposite than original) I opted out of having it removed until it becomes unbearable.

Joan, Is your RSD in the same foot the neuroma was removed from?

barb,
don't be sorry, we all know about those crabby days. The way we have to live. its no wonder we get crabby.
Thanks for the info Joan.
