How about drg stimulation implant if alcohol and surgery don’t work?

How do you typically diagnose a neuroma ? The podiatrist I saw used his fingers to press under my toes and asked how painful/tender that was. He then told me I had a neuroma and would give me a shot to help. I asked if it was necessary which he said yes. Little did I know he did a 6% alcohol injection (I thought it was cortisone). I feel naive to not have asked what he was going to inject but feel he should have told me the injection was intended to DESTROY my nerve if I had know I would have never allowed that. Anyways my toes were numbs for about 3-4 days and the numbness comes and goes. Would one shot completely destroy the nerve ? And since it was just one shot could the injection possibly be reversed ? Also how would you be able to tell damage was done to surrounding tissue since he didn’t use a ultrasound when doing the injection.

Sorry to hear about the frustrating scenario! These are all great question, but I cannot do consultations via KZbin comments. I would need to ask you questions to provide direction and clear answers.
