He gave me a small steroid injection into the 2nd toe joint, and put me in metatarsal bar on shoe. Everywhere I read, the steroid shot was huge mistake and I'm crying so much I can barely type. Don't know if it was short term or long term shot. How long is the risk of rupture, ie I'm just going to immobilize myself even though he said it wasn't needed, but need to know how long the risk of rupture lasts from the steroid shot.

Its not 2 weeks post shot and I still feel pain when weightbearing. Is it possible that for this condition the shot just didnt work so well? It helped with the stabbing pain, but the deep pain inside the foot I unfortunatelly feel still and do have to take painkillers ( Novalgin) I was told that surgery is probably necessary, but we tried first this option. Does cortisone usually work for tarsal coalition?<br />Im in Switzerland. Thank you in advance for any advice.

I spent most of my time limping and putting all my pressure on the ball of my foot. Now, about 2 weeks after the shot was administered, the heel pain was gone but now I have sesamoiditis in the ball of my foot. Is it possible that limping and putting all the pressure on the ball of my foot caused it? I got a 2nd cortisone injection yesterday for the sesamoiditis and will be resting several days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690966578519450655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-43143802230269367282017-05-23T10:59:45.236-07:002017-05-23T10:59:45.236-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690966578519450655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673715911736059911.post-84129403950611838782017-05-12T14:05:00.406-07:002017-05-12T14:05:00.406-07:00Stacey, so sorry for my delay.

No signs of physical injury. Update, my left foot is still so painful on the bottom of the heel again. I did have an MRI and still have pf and I had a bone bruise. I tried night splints and then was put into a hard cast for 2 weeks and now going through physical therapy. I have good days and bad days but it's not going away. The pain on the very edge of my heel where I though the injection was is better but not all they way normal.

I've tried a boot, lidocaine/diflonec, anti-inflammatory drug and completely stopped running, jumping, lunges, etc. It hurts to put pressure on ball of foot, forcing me to walk on side of foot. My dr. recommended an injection as well as PCP injection. Last option is surgery to remove bone fragments. I guess my question is, will these injections actually heal the bone or is it just going to make it "feel" better for a bit. I'm looking to permanently fix the problem as I am a very active person.

Thanks so much for the reply.
You might be...Rich,<br /><br />Thanks so much for the reply.<br /><br />You might be interested, the cortisone shot used to last for 7-8 months, now only 3-4 months, but getting a shot 3-4 times a year seems less risky than major surgery which may or may not work and I feel would surely end my tennis career.<br /><br />The shot needs to be placed in exactly the right spot in the joint, and is better visualized with X-Ray or ultrasound. I've had some docs who casually injected into area, with no affect whatsoever. <br /><br />All hand docs have different opinions on this, one says every 6 months is OK, another says I am at risk for "ruptured tendons" but reluctantly does it every four months. I think my wrist is fine if there is no pain, which comes from continual impact of racquet and ball, with very little cartilage between the bones in the synovial joint. I've been getting shots since 2011 and I play high-level tennis, I use special racquet and strings to minimize impact.<br /><br />I play tennis every other day - need a day off to recover - but will continue as long as cortisone shots keep working.<br /><br />I appreciate your feedback!
