As far as the cortisone, I would stay away!! Well, I would stay away #1 because I hate needles. But, I have also read that the cortisone shot hurts more than the PF and that the relief isn't very long lasting (if it helps at all). Read back into the previous messages. I don't know if you have been stretching, icing, or heating, but there are a lot of great suggestions on what to try :) Good luck... Come back often.
