Hello All,

I know alot of you don't know me but I have been around along time on both boards BT 1 and 2. The last few years I have been lurking more than posting, however within the last couple of months I have found myself posting more and more. Maybe it's the increased pain or that I have missed the friends I made on this board.

I have noticed recently that there seems to be quite a few folks posting about having neuromas removed from their feet. I would like to see how many with RSD in their feet have had neuromas removed, and later developed RSD.

I had a neuroma removed on my right foot and over 15 years later developed RSD in that same foot from 2 fractures in that same foot. I am curious if this is just a coincidence?

Please post if you have had a neuroma and you later developed RSD in that same foot.

Thanks in advance.

Now I know why I quit posting and just lurk.

It's pretty bad when you can't get one person to answer your post.

Thanks to all,

Dear Barb -

Please bear in mind that you asked a pretty specialized question and then asked people to respond if they fit the profile. To be honest, I wouldn't expect a lot of takers if I put up an inquiry along those lines.

Bottom line: don't be discouraged be the lack of a response.

Barb,

I have had a neuroma removed from my left foot, and now I have rsd there. I also fell a few months ago, and broke my toe on the right foot, now I have rsd there also. the neuroma ended up forcing me to have 5 other surgeries after it. I ended up getting something like the flesh eating bacteria and had to have all the flesh removed from the top and bottom of the foot. Before the neuroma surgery, I had 3 surgeries on that foot. it was my pod that suggested that I had rsd over 3 years ago. we just couldn't worry about rsd, because of the infections. I'm getting a block for the right foot, and I am thinking of getting a stim for the right. I really need to be able to put a shoe on and get out.

Hope that helps.

you can also use the search feature and type in neuroma to find more information.

also...this is a holiday weekend. posting is slow forum wide.

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.
