Best Doctors for Neuroma Treatment in Kurnool

Neuroma is characterized by presence of a painful, benign and abnormal lump in the pathway of nerves. It causes neurological symptoms and abnormal sensations. It is otherwise known as a nerve tumor or a pinched nerve. This condition is caused due to traumatic injury to nerves, nerve compression and lacerations, post surgical management of hernia or limb amputations, bunions, prolonged stress, conditions like gout or rheumatoid arthritis. Neuroma can manifest along any nerve all across the body. The most common neuroma is Morton's neuroma on the foot acoustic neuroma of the inner ear and complex regional pain syndrome post postoperatively. A neurosurgeon evaluates the neuroma by conducting neurological test of Tinel's sign and investigating the damaged nerve clinically by imaging studies with MRI or CT scans. A conservative medical management with antidepressants, anticonvulsants and steroidal injections combined with desensitization and electrical stimulation exercises may help to control the neurological symptoms initially. However, if the symptoms worsen gradually, a surgical correction with nerve decompression and tumorous resection of the nerves is recommended to manage the condition.
