[|Human|] I ve been getting cortezone shots in my right foot since January 16th about every 4 to 5 weeks. 4 weeks ago the Doctor had me wear a blow up temp. cast for 2 weeks but every time the pain keeps coming back. Its in the heel then some times it shots up the back of my leg, the Doctor gave me another shot after the pain persisted and said come back again in 4 weeks. several days after the last shot the pain came back and hasn t gone away. I called the Doctor back and told him and he said to wait and let this last shot work. Am I getting the run around with this Doctor???? I was told these shots only mask the problem and will not fix it.
[|AI|]  Here you need to take treatment for heel and not the pain. Pain is just a symptom, and it will not be all right till the time there is a problem with heel. Now for heel you can take x-ray and if every thing is fine (no fracture),then I suggest visiting a physio take advice on soft footwear as well take ultrasound therapy as a physio treatment and at home also deep your leg in hot water with added salt and keep the feet in floating position under the water so that water can touch all around the feet and can give good result. Also avoid any activity which pains a lot for time being and also do exercise for your feet suggested by physiotherapist. Follow all above steps to have good relief. Take care
