I got a cortizone shot and after the initial pain of the shot wore off (about a week or two) I had a new foot! I could walk without pain, wake up without pain. Seriously all gone. Then I spend a weekend in flip flops and BAM, all back. I think I'm going to get another shot. My aunt is a nurse and she says go for it.

Sometimes, we have to take a few steps back on our goals, a regrouping of the plan to the best ending. When one way , usually the short way, doesn't pan out, back up and travel the longer way. Sure it takes more time but it's a more worthy journey.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943498735808802140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367036655034078155.post-35696523482146417402010-05-11T11:57:38.363-07:002010-05-11T11:57:38.363-07:00Praying that the docs can figure out exactly what ...Praying that the docs can figure out exactly what is going on and offer you some options that wont set you back.

I told them, "no way". So I did pysichal therapy instead and took one shot of cortizone for the swelling. But it was all for nothing anyway. Surgery looks imminent.<br />You know you have choices Lesia, and we know you will make the right ones. Remember to focus on the end result and be positive about where you will be soon. It's where we will end up that keeps us going and knowing that being healthy and a lot lighter is where we need to be.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511873738049617761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367036655034078155.post-37871536485088229432010-05-11T08:33:16.271-07:002010-05-11T08:33:16.271-07:00yes but that would SLOW the healing of the fractur...yes but that would SLOW the healing of the fracture by a month.
