Neuromas on feet


Posted: Mar 21, 2011

Has anyone here developed neuromas on your feet from using the foot pedal? Did you file a work comp claim? Have surgery? If surgery, how long is recovery? Thanks.

Painful neuromas - Trollbaby

[ In Reply To ..]
I developed a very painful neuroma even before doing transcription. My first surgery went well, but then about a year later developed what they call a stump neuroma in that same area. Had to have surgery again and they had to go in from the bottom of the foot. A very painful surgery. No problems now except that I have very little fat pad and have developed calluses in that area on the bottom of my foot that are very painful. I did not know this back then, but chiropractors can help with neuromas. I would have rather gone to a chiropractor instead of having surgery. Good luck!

Help Me With My Feet! They Hurt So Bad, Are Soo Dry, AndJun 03, 2011
I have cracked heels that bleed and hurt extremely bad.  I also have cracking up the outside of my foot as well.  I have used foot fungus creams and sprays.  I have used that Miracle Foot Repair and many, many different lotions and moisturizers.  I use a callus shaver to shave the hard dry skin off my heels and then moisturize, but it doesn't help at all.  It gets really bad in the summer when I start wearing flip flops a lot.  It seems my heels get worse with ...

Stinky FeetMay 22, 2013

Feet SwellingOct 19, 2013

Cold FeetJan 14, 2016
I am reaching out to my fellow MT's to ask what to do about my cold feet.  This time of year my feet get extremely cold while I type all day.  I have never typed in shoes, and really cannot because I can't feel the difference in the pedals.  If I wear shoes I end up backspacing or forwarding all the time.  I can wear house shoes with a very soft, flexible sole most of the time, but my feet freeze this time of year.  Any suggestions?  ...

Feet Issues- For YearsAug 22, 2013
I have no idea where to go to get some help for myself. I have tried every single speciality that I thought perhaps could help but this has been going on for over 10 years now and no help. Tried ortho, podiatry, neurologist, nerve conduction studies, x-rays, MRIs, nothing found and no treatment and still going on. If not for Birkie's, have no clue what I would do but still feet aching. My left foot used to have electrical current that would hit, only when walking, never at night. That elect ...

I Have An Aversion To Feet, Especially Ugly, Oct 12, 2013
calloused, fungi-infected man-feet.  I hate typing reports that involve foot care. I don't mind nice feet but these feet that people present to doctors and NPs are just waaaay too ugly.  Cracked, swollen, peeling, ingrown nails, fungus, sub-ungual debris.  Yuck yuck and yuck again.  ...

Is Trump Really Trying To Hold Their Feet Jul 23, 2015
So, if Repubs don't treat him "right," he may run 3rd party.  Where would that 24% (I think that is the highest I have seen) get him?  Nowhere, but it would destroy the Repub's chances.  That's 24% of their own.  Unlike Bernie, I haven't seen any articles that show any party-crossing for Trump...not a single Democrat voting for him.  Oh, there must be someone, sure... So wil the Repubs let him run with it?  The only silver lining is that this i ...

Does anyone else have this problem.  I can not stand it.  My hands and feet and nose are so cold.  I have socks and slippers on.  In fact, my right foot is much colder than my left and is painful cold.  The veins in my right wrist are recently smaller and the left are still normal and stick out like the right used to but now they are teeny tiny.  I do not know if this is all related or not, but sick of feeling like crap and having wierd symptoms that gets the r ...

Fair Game-Holding Bankers' Feet To The FireJul 18, 2010
By GRETCHEN MORGENSON Published: July 16, 2010 KUDOS to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, overseer of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the crippled mortgage finance giants. While some in Washington have continued to coddle the big banks even after they drove our economy into the ditch, this agency seems serious about recovering money for taxpayers by holding bad financial actors to account. The agency announced last Monday that it had issued 64 subpoenas to a throng of unidentified financial ser ...

Update On My Dry Cracked Sore Feet! I Know Y'all Been Waiting On Pins And Needles...Jun 14, 2011
I went with whomever it was that suggested Surgeon's Secret.  I bought some of that.  Plus I bought a pair of "Heelies" which are these little heel socks that have a gel lining along the heel that infuse minerals and oils into your skin.  My feet get really hot and I don't like to sleep in socks and these only cover the heels and halfway up the foot.  I L-O-V-E them!  During the day when I'm working, I've been using the Surgeon's Secret all over ...

"HAPPY FEET" (sm) :o)Oct 23, 2009
My cat just did something I haven't seen a cat do before: You know how cats knead their front paws ("make biscuits") when they're very happy?  Well, my cat sometimes does her "happy feet" not just with the front paws, but all FOUR at the same time! The other evening she had climbed into bed and was kneading with her front paws, like always.  Then, she flopped over onto her side, and continued kneading the blanket (and occasionally my arm... good thing I'd just trimmed ...
