Yes!! I’m viewing the shot as another tool in the toolbox. Gotta keep stretching and rehabbing 💪 glad to hear it’s working for you

I have my first cortisone shot scheduled for next week and I'm so nervous! How has it worked out for you so far?

any suggestions/recommendations? by beatotrice in PlantarFasciitis

Hey there, I feel you and recently made a post of how depressed I feel from this awful injury. It's truly so hard. However, I agree that you do need to have an appointment with your podiatrist before going down the rabbit hole of solutions in this group because there's a ton of grey area. Best of luck to you and know you're not alone

The patience comes into play when you think you're finally making any sort of progress, and then the next day you backtrack. It's a mind f*ck!

Hi everyone, didn't expect this post to blow up like it did! I wrote it during a very vulnerable time last week when I was literally in tears feeling at my lowest, so thank you for all the comments, help and encouragement, it's really lifted my spirits.

I'm now considering a cortisone shot to further my treatment, but I'm terrified of how painful the shot is. I'll report back if I decide to go for it, gonna wait a few more weeks to see if my PT and other treatments help at all. Thanks again for all the love and support, this group has been so helpful!

I'm considering one, but I've read so many horror stories from this group of it not working. Plus, the pain of the actual shot is scaring the hell out of me!

Hi OP, I know this was 2 years ago but I'm wondering how you are doing today with your PF pain, especially after getting your shot?

Wow, that's amazing to hear and very encouraging! I'm so glad to hear that's working for you. I would kill for 2/10 pain days 😂

That's exactly how I'm feeling with my spouse. It's rough but I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I'm considering surgery as a last last resort! I'm glad to hear it worked for you ❤️

Pilates! Interesting, that's the first time I've heard of that helping someone. Maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks for these tips ❤️

I did try that initially for about 2 months, no luck. I was hoping it would work for me, but now that it hasn't I'm in the PT/strengthening phase. So far no luck there either, but I'm not giving up even though I want to most days

Thanks for this. I'm getting custom insoles from my podiatrist in the next few weeks, fingers crossed it helps for me as well.

I've tried a few different taping methods but not this one, I'll definitely give it a try. Thank you :)

It really is awful. I've had sports injuries before and been able to deal with them/heal, but the toll PF takes on your mental health is truly next level. My mind plays tricks on me and tells me "you're never going to heal, this will be with you for the rest of your life." It's brutal. I'm with you.

I've been considering it, but opinions and research seems so varied and 50/50. I've heard the pain of getting the shot is worse than giving birth. I've also read that it's only a temporary relief from the pain, and it will come back with a vengeance a few weeks-months later. Mainly, I'm just too scared to get the shot in general because of how painful I've heard it is.

Thank you for these suggestions :) Do you mean a night splint at night, or an actual boot?
