Cyrosurgery On Foot

[john999]

I had the cyrosurgery today on my left foot. Not a big deal. If it helps me I will recommend it to others here with foot problems. They basically freeze the nerves and tissues in your foot which is supposed to radically bring down inflammation and even kill the nerves that are irritated. It is an alternative to more invasive procedures and is done for PF and PN. I know quite a few here have those problems.

The doctor says I should know in about a week if it worked. It is a lot better than the standard surgery which can take a year to really heal. It can be used to treat nerve pain in the feet. Those with PN due to DMII could use it. If you have PN due to DMII you probably don't want surgery if you can help it due to healing problems.

John,

Did the VA do this Cyrosurgery or did you go to clinic in tampa?

My VAMC is in the dark ages so they don't do cutting edge treatments.
