    Hello everyone,
    Back again, I seem to be having a problem with a neuroma on the left side of my stump,BKL, just below the pressure point there, maybe a little into the pressure point. I have to stop and remove the prosthesis and massage the stump about every hour somedays, when the weather is changing seems to be he worst! If I add a sock that helps for a while,but then if I get off the leg and start driving it seems to become worse yet, walk a while and it calms down. What can I do about the neuroma? Can it be surgically taken care of ? What?
    Thanks Jake,
