I was referred to the Podiatric Surgery Department some months ago. The first stage of the treatment involved what turned out to be a course of three steroid injections; all were expertly administered - on two of the three occasions I was not even sure if the needle had gone in.
Because that treatment did not lead to any sustained improvement, I had to undergo surgery to remove the neuroma. That happened two weeks ago.
I only learned of the possibility of this treatment by going privately to a chiropodist. Initially, my GP was unaware of the existence of the department in the hospital only 3 miles away.
