My daughter is suffering from neuromas and high blood pressure. So far nothing has helped, where can I turn?
Neuromas are benign tumors of the nerves. By your question, and because this is a back pain Internet forum, we’re assuming that this is a neuroma of the spine. Since your daughter is 15 years old, and if she does have neuromas of the spine, she should visit a pediatric orthopaedic hospital. If he or she hasn’t done so already, your pediatrician may choose to do more tests to find out what is causing your daughter’s high blood pressure. Certain spine diagnoses are associated with neuromas of the spine, and doctors can best evaluate these problems in a pediatric environment.
