They also do house calls too, brings a tear to the eye

I had 1 injection in my knee and another 6 months later and they took the pain right away. Unfortunately my doctor said you are only allowed 2 injections into the knee and I am now back to square one....limping on my post round dosed full of painkillers. Being just over 50 doctor tells me I am still too young for any surgery. This awful job is slowly wearing my body out!!!

From what I've read they are a bit hit or miss and I don't want to put myself through the trauma of an injection in my heel if it's not going to help.

Anyone????????

Hi personally I would not waste your time I have had 8 injections 4 in each foot over a period of time with guided injections none helped what so ever there is very little you can do for plantar fasciitis in both feet for almost 2 years perhaps the best treatment i have had is a reflexologist and your Gp should tell that heel spurs dont cause pain it is plantar fasciitis that cause the pain I also have 3 heel spurs which the surgeons insist will not cause pain
