I have received two cortisone shots in my right foot. Neither shot was very painful when given and they have been helpful. The first shot lasted 3 months. My Dr. said the cortisone was probably out of my system after 2 months. I feel that I probably got careless by not wearing proper shoes when my heel was not hurting, thus the pain returned. My second shot has lasted approx. 2 months now and I am being more careful. However, after my second shot when my heel pain left, my foot hurt in other places. I have not been able to get rid of this follow-up pain - the Dr. says it is tendonitis but anti-inflammatories and stretching don't help much. I guess it's time to spend money on another office call?
