Hi folks. What if cortisone injections, excercise, and a boot I wear at night don't work? It worked at first but now it doesn't. Does anybody know what the next step will be?

Hi Mandy
Cortisone injections work just for a period of time, I think it lasts for 3 months, right? My mum has PF and feels good with resting the feet on bags of frozen gel. Frozen peas would work for us here (mum lives in Brazil, she bought these gel packs and put them in the freezer). Mum does it 3 times every day. My friend, who lives here, cycles a lot so he doesn't put his weight on his feet. Physio is good too. I think this foot problem takes years to get sorted. Another friend suffered for 3 years. I thought I had it at the beginning but I have something more serious and painful - tarsal tunnel syndrome. Ouch!
I wish you get better soon. Take care of yourself.
Cris
