He took xrays of my very sore ankle/heel and he looked at the MRI results I took to him. He poked around on my foot and finally found the exact spot that hurts so much. He said since I just came off a week of steriods and now on the Prednisone that he thought I needed a shot of Cortisone. He said I have a very inflammed tendon and possibly the begining of Arthritis there So I agreed to the shot of Cortisone.....OUCH!!!!!!! Man does that ever hurt! Now I have ice on my ankle and have it elevated. I hope in a few days it'll feel better. He also said I need inlays in my shoes because I have flat feet! I've never been told that before and I've always had feet issues. He gave me some temporary inlays till I can get better ones.

Ah, I remember well, those cortisone shots. But they do work, and your inflammation should be reduced very soon.

But until then, here's something to make you smile!!

I love the sparkly fearies! I collect all of the ones I find online. SO I've saved yours. Thank you!

The tradeoffs of being on or off steroids are taking their toll? Drat this is not fun at all!
Add to that, the fact that after a day of 'elevating' a foot or whatever...it gets OLD, really really OLD!
Sending you the cyber equivalent of a 'tempurpedic pillow' ....you know what I mean! - j

Hi Mel! I will find the site and PM you tomorrow with it. ok?

HI J! It's getting really really OLD already!! I even broke down and took a Tylenol Gel tablet tonight because the pain in my foot is so bad.....and I never take those kinds of pain meds because they kill my bladder.......UGH!!!!!
We have a Tempurpedic bed.....so know all about those pillows!
