One thing I know: He is present with you.
if you read the Morton's Neuroma chapter of my book, Pain Solutions, then you know
1) you need an incision on the bottom of the foot for me to remove the stump neuromas and implant them into the arch
2) 75% of people like yourself also have entrapment of the tibial nerve and its medial and lateral plantar nerves, which prevent the interdigital nerves from healing properly after traditional MN surgery, and entrapment of the calcaneal nerve, which is likely the source of your heel pain I just knew it! I have had this feeling that a nerve was at fault for my PF, but I didn't understand enough about it, I guess. How the hell can someone NOT heal from Plantar Fasciitis when they have hardly moved in the past year!
3) the neurosensory testing with the PSSD done in our office can help with these diagnoses.
WOW! this explains why I have chronic pain on the areas mentioned by the good doctor and here I thought it was caused by an old ankle injury.
I am so sorry to hear it TJ, just remember that we are here for you.
Sending hugs and good wishes your way and the very best of luck.
I'll take the chrome ones! Man, Matey, where do you come up with this stuff?
I'm still selling them if anyone is interested. Kind of reminds of that Monty Python sketch "Salad Days."I actually remember Lee Press On Limbs as an SNL skit, but I sort of liked the cartoon....

This sounds really odd to me. What the heck is re-implanting them elsewhere supposed to do?
Thanks for the concise and enlightening description!Nerves, when cut, will continue to try to grow back. If they don't find muscle, they will find scar tissue implanting themselves deep into the scar tissue. This causes a great deal of pain. When nerves implant themselves into scar tissue, they begin to grow stumps on their ends (stump neuromas). These stumps are very painful, and not only that, they send incorrect pain signals to the brain. The other day, I stepped on a hard crumb of food with the underside of my middle toe (the one that doesn't have any nerves), and it felt like I had stepped on a needle. The message from the nerve was amplified and incorrect. When nerves are correctly implanted into a muscle (in my case, the stumps that have formed from the first surgery will be cut off the ends, and the ends will be implanted high up into the arch muscle), they stop growing, so they are unable to develop new stumps, and they no longer are able to send incorrect messages to the brain.
When I asked Dr. Dellon why more doctors aren't implanting the nerve endings into the muscles, he said, "The surgery is technically quite difficult."
DUUUUDE!Apparently, most of the podiatrists who did neurectomies of neuromas are doing it the "old way," and that's exactly how the doctor did mine this past January. When I asked Dr. Dellon why more doctors aren't implanting the nerve endings into the muscles, he said, "The surgery is technically quite difficult." HELLO! Then if they can't do it RIGHT, should they even be doing it at all?!
My sentiments exactly.By the by, after reading your experience with MN, I'll stop whining about my metatarsal, now
