2 cortisone injections
My podiatrist is recommending 2 cortisone shots in quick succession to “knock it out”. I’ve done 1 shot about 3 weeks ago. My foot now feels amazing. He wants me to go back in next week for another. Has anyone tried this? Did it work?
Background:
PF started in both feet a year ago. Saw podiatrist in September. Did recommended stretches, marble pick ups for a bit. Went away in my right foot but left lingered and got worse. I started in full effort to do all strengthening, stretches, toe yoga, night splints, any witch craft I could find on the internet for the last 2.5 months. I’m training to hike the Inca trail next month do I need to be strong, but my foot pain has really held me back from doing the appropriate training.
So I went back to the podiatrist who said the shot was the way to go and if the first one works, he suggests a second one a month later to hopefully knock it out. After the shot I rested entirely for a week. Then I have slowly increased my training to strengthen my foot. I’m thinking about starting PT too but worried they will just give me all the same things I’m already doing. Might atleast check it out.
So did anyone do a second shot quickly after the first one worked? What was the result?
