Post Neuroma

A Neuroma is am inflamation of a nerve ending of a damaged nerve. It can be localized in a very small spot with no redness. But, it can hurt like someone is pressing the tip of a very hot nail into you skin.

That much I know. Does anybody know how that might be related to peripheral neuropathy?

Well actually a neuroma is a tumor that arises in nerve cells.

Neuritis is an inflammation of nerves.

Neuropathy(also known as peripheral neuropathy, sensory peripheral neuropathy, or peripheral neuritis) is a painful condition related to damaged peripheral nerves.
