Zing!!!



Neuroma update: Today I finally got several cortisone shots in my left foot. The first shot didn't hurt. The next three went into the nerve between my 2nd and 3rd toes. That's quite a feeling! Like an electric shock combined with holding a lit bic to my toes. All this to avoid that same feeling while I'm running. I ran a hill workout today a couple hours after the shot. It will take an extended run to really know if the pain is gone for the time being. Last week I was able to get some good training in, despite the neuroma and the fact that my longest run was 10 miles. I've been having to stop every 1/2 hour or so and massage my foot in order to continue. Here's hoping these days are over and I've turned the corner on my comeback!

Mike,

I'm glad to hear you are on the comeback trail. I had one of those shots for my plantar fasciitis about three years ago. It's be working great since then.

Dear Mike,
Ive had this problem for 3 years! Nothing has worked, and in preparing for Badwater this May, I need to kill the nerve. Ive had it with the pain. How is your cort. injection working? is the pain completely gone? Should I do the same? Whats the cost? any information you could provide would be a great help. Many thanks for your consideration and all the best for a great running year.
Sincerely
Rene' Paul de la Varre
