QUESTION: Thank you your your quick answer.
Since, MRI shows 3x5 for both feet.
What kind of treatment is recommended?
Is this could go away with conservative treatment?
I have a couple of alcohol injections.  I am wondering the neuroma could shirinking by itself if I stop the alcohol injections, since the alcohol injection makes the nerve harden.  Also, if I stop the alcohol injection now, and restart later on, maybe a couple months later, the alcohol injection still work?
So many questions.
Once again, thank you for you time.

Regard

Sung

Answer
I recommend continuing and completing the full course of seven alcohol injections.

All the best,
