Is Burning Nerve Endings For The Relief Of Ankle And Foot Pain Safe?
my wife is eighty years young,weighs 140 lb. and is 5ft.8in. tall.five years ago her right ankle and foot started to swell and hurt. she had two cortezone shots that did not help. she started to see other doctors and they could not find any source of the swelling or pain. they have sent her to at least twelve specialist , including the wake forest pain clinic and she is getting worse each day. They now are talking of killing the nerve to this area. any suggestions?

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is already several things tried and many doctors being tested so now this is the real time to know the underlying cause of swelling and better to get done MRI if this is unremarkable then this is nothing to worry and swelling could be due to nonspecific reason will come around on its own, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
