How To Cure Neuromas Shortly After The Original Amputation?
I had a hunting accident about 4 years ago . My right hand was amputated about midway between the hand and elbow. I developed neuromas shortly after the original amputation. I have constant pain since. Three different surgeons have operated on my arm with no success. What can I do to stop the pain and keep the. Neuromas from growing back?

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Neuromas can not stop growing. They are just physiological after limb amputations. Surgical resection of neuromas by a neurosurgeon is a treatment option. Another treatment option for chronic pain are antidepressants like amytriptiline or anti-epilepsy drugs like pregabaline or gabapentine.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above options.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
