    I am not sure why you are asking about this in this forum. This is a Plantar Fasciitis forum. Do you have PF????      I will give one post. It is possible if the dose in your big toe is large enough, it can have a systemic effect and make everything feel better - yes everything, everywhere for a while - but if the dose is appropriate for your joint in the big toe then probably not. If someone has a large dose of depomedrol in their butt for rheumatoid arthritis then they will have a whole body temporary effect but the big toe joint is small and can only take a small dose. It is doubtful you will have a major systemic effect but there is always the placibo effect consideration.
