I had 4 cortisone shots in each foot over a 19 month period. This is way too many. None of them made any difference for more than a few days to a week or so. Then, right back to where I had been. Also, repeated shots can destroy the fat pad in your heel; this is an important biomechanical structure, and can cause a lot of problems if its gone. But, having said all that, I had a friend who had a mild case of PF, got two shots in her foot (at once), and was cured. I guess I think one or two is worth the try, but don't let them talk you into more, like I did!!
