I just wanted to chime in with my experience. I had an amnio injection into my right foot about 6 ish years ago for severe PF. I was part of a study at my dr office when they were just starting to learn about its benefits. I was in severe pain and desperate. It was VERY VERY painful. The dr warned me that it would feel like I had surgery on it and after the nerve block wore off, I was in pretty bad pain. It took about 6 weeks for the excruciating pain to subside. I started feeling a difference around 3-6 months and 6 years later my right foot is still completely pain free. My left foot is now suffering from the same condition so I am looking into having the procedure done in about a month. Cost is around 500-600.00 and insurance doesnt usually cover it (mine doesnt). Looking back, even though it was horribly painful, it was totally worth it which is why I am looking into doing it again on my other foot.
Advice for people getting it done - stay ahead of the pain - take your medication, take a few days off work - even though it is a non invasive injection, trust me it hurts and lastly WEAR YOUR BOOT.
Good luck

Hi! I'm just curious how long you wore a boot. I just had the injection 17 days ago and was told to wear my boot for 1 week but chose to wear for 2 weeks after things I had been reading. I am in more pain today than I have been in a long time. Did you continue to ice and stretch? How much did you truly rest or did you go on with daily routines? My doctor told me not to take an anti inflammatory right after the injection. He prescribed another pain medicine but I was wondering if it's ok to take an anti inflammatory now.

You mean there's more then 1 shot to be given? Ugh! I just had my first one today in my left foot. Hurt like a SOB! I've had 7 cortisone shots in my time in my hands and elbows and won't have any more of those. It hurt as much as the cortisone shots. I was told it wouldn't. I'm afraid to walk on that foot cause I don't want to screw up the shot. Don't know if that's possible. Been searching on line but can't find the answer. Do you know? 😃

How is he doing from the shot? I just had the amniotic injection in my left foot today. Seems I have what's is known as Dupuytren's contracture but in my foot. I have DC in both hands and now my left foot.

I had AmnioFix for plantar fascitis in 2018. It has cured my foot. Today I had it injected into my left foot. I'm planning for it to heal my left same as the right.
