Do You? >> , thanks. No Rich and I have discussed this and putting it off is not a good thing. I just want to make sure I have all the options in front of me and KNOW that whoever is going to do the surgery knows what he or she is doing. LOL I am looking forward to the day to just walk where ever and when ever I want for as long as I want.... Just to go to the grocery store or enjoy running in the park with my grandaughter.....Oh that would be heaven. I am already on disability. Have been since 1997. Thanks for the concern though. I do have medicare, but don't use it because Rich has me on his insurance and it is a PPO and I don't need referals. I will keep the group posted as to what I decide. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 , Well leave it to you kid to get neuromas in your feet. By definition they are: a tumor growing out of a nerve or made up largely of nerve cells and nerve fibers. Many lesions formerly called neuromas are now given more specific names such as ganglioneroma, neurilemoma, or neurobrbroma. Under the sub-heading for neuroma they list 17 different types. And yes this can be RP related. I think this would be a really good time to talk to an attorney about getting you on disability and Medicare. If each surgery is going to take you 6 months to heal you are talking a full year off. With not much chance of being able to work. That should qualify you. I know that is AZ, if my husband did not have insurance I would have received mine right away. But each state has some authority over it. It would be a good thing to check into. Sorry to hear that it is nerve damage. I don't think putting it off to long would be a good thing. Do You? Let me know if I can help. Love R. Hi all, Well, I got my results on my MRI of my feet. I have tumors in my feet. They are neuromas. These are fatty tumors which are nerve tumors. As usual, mine aren't in the place that most are found. Mine are near the heel where the nerves meet and the muscles connect to the bone. Dr. has never seen one there. The radiologist report said they were extensive and were pressing on the nerves.

I can't seem to find it anywhere, but I'm probably not looking in the right place. Could they be in other parts of my body and I don't know it? I think this would be useful information for the group. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see my rhumatologist this next week I will ask him. Sounds like you had a good day yesterday, except for the grocery shopping. That part doesn't appeal to me. But guess we all have to eat. I could easily live on soup, but my guys won't go for that.
