Once you have a steroid shot you really have to think if the pain is that bad you want another one. I had a shot in my foot one time and it is something I will never forget but it help so much I have to say it was worth it. A year later I was having the same issues but not as bad the Dr. said I can give you a steroid shot......there was a long pause and I said I going buy a new pair of sneakers and take a week off from walking and see how I feel. Anyhow I hope you feel better soon.!
