Content: ● Give cortisone injection
A cortisone injection is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that is used to rapidly reduce the pain associated with an inflamed nerve. The pain relief that you may experience from the injection (s) is often temporary. Typically injection (s) are administered once every 2 months for a total of 3 injections or until the pain is resolved. ● Give sclerosing alcohol injection
A sclerosing alcohol injection is placed around the involved nerve to weaken its capacity to report pain. In other words, the alcohol injection will ‘deaden’ the affected nerve. The pain relief that you may experience from the injection (s) can be permanent. Typically injection (s) are administered once every week for a few weeks until the pain is resolved. Morton’s Neuroma Surgery
Surgery for neuroma most often involves removing affected nerve in the ball of the foot. An incision is made on the top of the foot and the nerve is carefully removed. Surgeon must remove the nerve far enough back so that the nerve doesn’t continue to become impinged at the ball of the foot.
