Yep, I had a neuroma. I had hernia surgery back in 2001 on the right side, and 2 years later had one on the left, but also had a lot of pain on the right. It was a neuroma, a benign growth on the nerve that can occur after surgery or radiation therapy. They simply clipped off the neuroma, and I was good to go!

Wishing you best of luck with the removal, and hope it proves to be a neuroma.
