I have neuromas in both feet. Dr recommended injections every two week seven times. Any experiences with those. How painful are those. Maybe surgery would be better

I had surgery and it was hell - still is! My niece had something called 'de-nervation' and this is what she said to describe it.
"I had radio frequency denervation on my lower back and neck. It worked wonders on the lower back, though the pain is returning now after about 4 years pain free, however it only gave a few months relief for my neck. It's done through a needle under X-Ray and sedation whereby electrical impulses heat the needle which is then pinpointed to the nerves, killing them at the source of the pain. They eventually regenerate though. Bupa have a useful explanation of radio frequency denervation on the web."
This is the BUPA link http://www.bupa.co.uk/health-information/directory/r/radiofrequency-denervation .
I suggest you ask your Dr about this as an alternative to either surgery or injections. I believe the injections are cortisone but I may be wrong in that.

Do not rush into surgery. I have Morton's Neuroma in my right foot. Injections did nothing to relieve it, so I would suggest not doing that. From other comments on this site, I was able to take advice which relieved it: manually , with your hand, stretch the toes and ball of foot to relieve the pain.

In my experience injections don't help at all and are fairly painful. In the end I think surgery is the only answer. Having said that I had surgery 4 months ago and although the sharp burning pain in my toes has gone I have been left with an uncomfortable lumpy feeling in the ball of my foot which is there all the time. I would say it depends on how bad the pain of your neuroma is and whether it is intermittent or constant as to whether you take any action at this stage.

Thanks so much. I don't want to go thru with 7 injections to end up with surgery
