Question
Can Cryotherapy be used if a surgery has already been done and pain, numbness, tingling is still present, think due to neuroma stump?

Answer
Hi Mildred,

Yes, Cryosurgery, aka cryotherapy, can be used to treat a foot neuroma even after surgery.  This may be a stump neuroma or possibly the pain may be coming from other sources.  I would see an experienced cryosurgeon.  In stump neuroma cases you may require several treatments.
