That should take care of the plantar fasciitis... I hope. Then I just have to manage the post-tib tendonitis. 27 days to Boston Marathon. Anyone have experience with cortisone shot in the heel? Doc says there is a short term steroid that lasts about a week and then a longer term much stronger steroid that kicks in about 4 days later that lasts about 6 weeks. Doesn't feel that much different yet, but it wasn't bothering me too much this morning once I started walking around. This is more of an insurance policy knowing that it's gonna take a beating at Boston, and I want any advantage I can get to minimize the inflammation.

I'd love to hear people's experiences with the after effects of the shot and whether it was a big help, little help, barely noticeable, etc. Tell me what you think.
