A neuroma is a benign tumor consisting of neural tissue. The tumor neural tissue has the same characteristics as a normal neural tissue. It means it can transfer any sensation including touch, heat and pain. Which feeling will be transferred depends on the subtype of sensitive neural cells that build the tumor. As with every tumor, complete cessation of symptoms is only available when the tumor is removed. You might want to check-up with the surgeon that performed the Ankle reconstructive surgery.
