STEROIDS GIVE BRIEF RELIEF FOR MOST PEOPLE. THE INJECTION INTO THE FOOT CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE IF NOT DONE PROPERLY, THE ORAL WILL ONLY HELP IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF INFLAMMATION. I STILL SAY A CAST IS BEST, IT ALLOWS THE FOOT TO REST, I WOULD LIVE IN ONE YEAR AROUND BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY TIME THAT I AM ACTUALLY PAIN FREE...I STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST CAST I GOT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA IN DECEMBER I ACTUALLY GOT IN THE CAR WITH MY HUSBAND AND WE DROVE TO ARKANSAS, NOT A SINGLE PAIN AND I SLEPT THRU THE NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 MONTHS..SO IF YOU HAVN'T TRIED IT CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR. GOODLUCK! I AM FINALLY WALKING AGAIN WITHOUT A BRACE...I STILL GET QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE BUT THEIR IS A GLIMMER OF LIGHT IN MY TUNNEL.
