What Are Nerve Tumors?
Nerve tumors are natural growths that develop on or near the body's nerves. For the most part, nerve tumors are benign (harmless), but they can cause pain and other symptoms if they put pressure on the nerve or damage it. A tumor that forms near the nerves in the hands or feet is called a peripheral nerve tumor. This condition can lead to a disorder called neuropathy, in which the nerves in the hands or feet become damaged or inflamed, causing symptoms like numbness, pain, or weakness. Peripheral neuropathy is a progressive condition, meaning it can worsen and even cause lasting damage without treatment. If you're regularly experiencing tingling or discomfort in your feet, you should schedule a consultation at Agape Foot Care to learn if you have peripheral nerve damage. Our staff has extensive experience dealing with nerve tumors and neuropathy and will help you find relief. Contact our podiatry office in Garland, Waxahachie, or Kaufman, TX to get started.
How Do You Treat Nerve Tumors?
All foot treatments at Agape Foot Care begin with a consultation, which may be done at our North Texas offices or in the comfort of your home if you have mobility challenges. Our providers will examine the growth and learn more about any medical issues or life factors that may be contributing to your condition. Treatment for nerve tumors typically involves surgery to excise the growth, but we may consider other options if there is a risk of damaging the nerve. Treatment for neuropathy may include lifestyle modifications (such as exercising more or cutting out alcohol), changes to nutrition, and management of any associated conditions. During your consultation, we'll discuss these changes and talk about what you can expect from your treatment program.
What Are Some Symptoms of Nerve Tumors?
A peripheral nerve tumor may or may not be visible to the eye, depending on its size and where it grows. In that case, you might not realize you have one until you start to experience nerve issues. Some symptoms of nerve tumors include:
- The appearance of a lump pushing out from the skin
- Sharp or burning pain
- Tingling or numbness in the foot
- Weakness in the affected foot
Agape Foot Care Reviews
Left foot pain. I've had this unexplained for a while. An x-ray didn't explain why it was hurting, so I was referred to a podiatrist. Once I described what I was experiencing, the doctor went right to the spot it was hurting the most without me pointing at it. He had a quick diagnosis and gave me two steroid shots for my next two appts. I recommend him.
Dr. Smith came to my home today and he was so professional and very kind. My feet feel so much better.
Dr. Hayes took care of my daughter when she had an infected ingrown tonail. Hands down he is a wonderful Podiatrist!
After a very bad experience with another podiatrist I am blessed to have found Dr. Hayes
Dr. Phil is amazing. He removed my ingrown toenail and I have not had any problems since. Satisfied with my visit,
