Are cortisone shots good for mortans neroma?

They can be: Cortisone shots can be very helpful in reducing the swelling (inflammation) in the nerve sheath surrounding the nerve bundle in this area. A metatarsal raise pad or a neuroma pad (see http://www.Hapad.Com/) can help releive the pressure causing the problem. Sclerosing alcohol injections or surgery are more aggressive options.

Cortisone injections: As a general rule, cortisone is used to suppress inflammation. Neuromas are actually caused by nerve compression and not inflammation. Therefore, this is not the best approach to treating a neuroma.

There are different : Approaches doctors take to treat this condition. Cortisone is one of these approaches, it is an acceptable treatment, it works and it is effective. (having said that my preference is for Dehydrated Alcohol injections.).

Yes: May reduce swelling and inflammation thereby decreasing pain and possibly size of the neuroma, but will not make it go away.

Possilbly: For me the best has been sclerosing agent vs. Cortisone shots. Neuromas, are caused by entrapment of the nerves in between your toes, so if you do not want them surgically decompressed, then sclerosing injections are much better than cortisone shots.

Cortisone use: Neuromas may be treated with corticosteriod injetions, plant based injections, epat therapy, biomechanical orthotics and even surgery.
