What is a neuroma of a stump?

Stump Neuroma is a growth of a cut off nerve that takes the form of a ball or stump. In some patients, the abnormal nerve growth does not cause any symptoms, while in others it may be extremely painful. Numerous types of nerve injuries can lead to the formation of a stump neuroma and treatment options are available for patients with this condition. Treatment usually under the supervision of specialists such as neurologists and surgeons. Similarly, other types of nerve operations, as well as traumatic nerve injuries, can lead to an interruption of the nerve. After postponing, the nervous growth factor may be generated to stimulate the nerves to grow back, but the nerve cells will increase in a highly disturbed way and form the knotted material of the nerve fibers. These nerve fibers are functional and can start sending signals of brain pain.

One common location for Stump Neuroma is in the leg as a result of surgery to remove the interdigital neuroma, also known as Morton's neuroma. This nerve disorder includes swelling and irritation oneit from the nerves in the leg, causing the patient to experience severe pain. When the nerve is interrupted in surgery, it can form a stump neuroma, also known as a recurring neuroma when it occurs in this situation because it replaces the original neuroma.

also called neuromas of end bulbs can sometimes lead to unbearable pain in patients. The pressure on the stump neuroma causes pain and even light or neutral feelings such as the brush over the place will cause pain. In addition, sometimes the nerves randomly fire and send pain signals when no feeling is experienced. Operation to remove neuromas is a possibility, but there is a concern for recurring neuroma and the risk that painful growth simply reappears.

Nerve blocks that use the anesthetic to a dull nerve so that the patient cannot feel, are another treatment option. A well -placed block can take a longer period of time and will be pAcient feel more comfortable. Nerve stimulation using implanted medical devices is another possibility for managing stump neuroma and relies on confusing nerve signals to block painful feelings. These options will not solve the neurom itself, but will solve pain and discomfort for the patient.
