Depending on the size of the mass and the length of time the mass has been present, the success rate varies.To improved my success rate: I have been using, Metanx ( vitamins to help nerves heals as they are often entrapped in the mass), ESWT ( sounds waves therapy to break down the mass) in conjunction with Verapamil with better success than Verapamil and orthotics alone.I do not recommend surgical excision until you have tried ESWT and Verapamil.ThanksDr. Melissa F RobitailleAtlantic Foot& Ankle Specialistswww.atlanticfeet.com
My podiatrist has diagnosised a fibromatosis and I am having pain, especially at night severe (pain scale 10). He has prescribed one lortab 5/500 twice a day and waiting on new orthotics. This has been going on 5 weeks now, I cannot manage the pain, cannot walk for any distance, etc. What kind of success have you patients had with verapamil transdermal patch?
