I am trying to do some research for the cause of my idiopathic Neuropothy. Has anyone had a bunionectomy done and then started to experience Neuropothy? I am finding more and more of this but Podiatrists and Neurologists deny it but more and more people experiencing this same thing.

@jimminnesota - Here's a search of Connect for members who have mentioned having a bunionectomy in comments in different support groups if you want to scan through them while you wait for members to respond - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/.

Surgeries come with risks. I had a shin shave biopsy to remove a lesion--which turned out to be benign and now I am dealing with some nerve pain and inflammation from that procedure. The dermatologist said the pain I was having was not due to anything he had done but I disagree. Before that procedure, I had no problems and my neuropathy caused by celiac disease was being managed. Now it is a new ball game and I have to find ways to get out of pain. I will only try holistic means and my trust in doctors has gone way down.
