I[edit]

I recently was told that I have a neuroma, it is on my c nerve and is very painful. What is my next step? They tell me that I need surgery!

treatment[edit]

I have a neuroma on the bottom of my right foot. It is quite painful. I have spent almost $1,000.00 on insoles that helped the plantar fis. but after a few years this neuroma started. I have been taking 50 mg. of amitriptaline for over a year and it works great. Is there anything else I can do so I don't have to keep going back to the Dr., just for her to ask if everything is okay and charge me $120.00 then give me a prescription that cost me $3.00.

I'm sorry, but Wikipedia has a policy prohibiting editors from giving medical advice. Looie496 (talk) 16:06, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page structure: a rationale[edit]

Pace WP:DICT, this page is lexically driven: "neuroma" is more of a historically evolving lexical item than a specific nosological class. Despite my efforts to clean it up a bit, this page was, is and presumably must remain a bit of a rag bag, imo. I therefore propose to provide a list of lesions that are sometimes termed "neuroma", probably doing away with the current distinction between true neoplasms and pseudo-tumors. I also feel it may be useful to move the etymological information back up the page from where I moved it, broadly per MEDMOS. The bottom line here, imo, is to be encyclopedic and friendly to anyone who happens to come to this page to try to work out quite what the word "neuroma" may refer to. Per, I hope, WP:DICT... 86.130.63.47 (talk) 10:05, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you see a way to improve the article, go for it! Looie496 (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a treatment section?[edit]

I saw 2 comments talking about what they can do if they have this tumour. Can anybody with enough references to create an article about how to treat this tumour?

I think it would be a good improvement. --Chopin2712 (talk) 10:14, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
