Thank you Linda for a response to my e-mail. I saw my Dr. yesterday and had
a long talk with him about the phenol injection. I have rescheduled the
injection for Oct. 21. After speaking with him I understand that my pain
center uses phenol often on patients. The phenol, once injected in the
neuroma will kill the nerve that is causing the pain. That is my
understanding. I have a friend who is a nurse anethest in a local hospital
that I hope will give me more info on this type of treatment. Location of
my scar neuromas are in several places on my stomach- above the belly-button
to the right flank area. The right flank area is the worst spot with the
pain going around to my side and back. The neuromas are the result of all my
abdominal surgeries, just like many others on this website. I will keep you
and others updated if this procedure has positive results. I also have
received many trigger point injections and they help with the inflammation
more than anything.
Blessings,
Ginger
