Hi Joan, so the injections in those areas were for issues with your Feet? Is that pain, numbness or pressure. And so now the steroid is injected directly into your feet. Does that help and just one more question, sorry. But is your issue isolated to your feet or does it radiate from your spine down to your feet? Thanks so much, Shawn

Hi smn1, injections in feet are for osteoarthritis. It is pain that makes walking very difficult.
No numbness, no pressure, simply pain. It helps tremendously. Normally the injections are given every 3 months, but I don´t need them that often so each time I´ve had them, we´ve scheduled them one week farther out. I´m now getting them at about every 4 mo. With the injections I can walk, which I find very important. Without them, I can´t put any weight on my feet. This does not radiate from my spine down to my feet. No spinal involvement, just arthritis. As if arthritis were ever ¨just¨.
