I'm at the same point now where the injections are having minimal effect. Additionally, I found out that the steroid shots may (not definitely) be playing havoc with my post-menopausal hormones and causing gyne issues.

Please, please post and let us know how it goes. Or, contact me privately if you want. I have to make a decision about this, but I don't want the cure to be worse than the affliction!

Good luck.

I personally don't know anyone that has my issue so it is nice to hear from you. I get my MRI next week for pre-surgery for the infusion. I have a 1 month follow-up to see my surgeon after the bunion surgery early April. He said he will then discuss that surgery with me and give me a date in May to have it done.
I would love to let you know how it goes. How would I contact you privately? How long have you been getting the injections in your foot. It is probably 5 yrs. or more for me. Started out 1 x yr., then 2 and now 3 times a yr.
Would be interested to know if the steroid shots are causing you gyney issue.
