OK... I have finally quit crying enough to write my blog. I did not have a good day and I'm scared and angry that I'm not getting better. I warmed up on the elliptical for 1.25 miles then went to the treadmill for my first try at running. I made about .50 before I was in too much pain and had to get off. I went back to the elliptical to get another mile, but I could not keep from tearing up so I headed home. I will start to post my cross training (elliptical miles) because it's just too depressing to see all the 0 on my blog. I don't know how to add the cross training to my blog. I go to the doctor Tuesday after work, he had said that if things did not go good he would do cortazone injection. I'm terrified of this option. I have heard nothing but horror stories that people end up worse then they were before the shots, or they don't help at all. Has anyone here had shots and did they work? Any advise would help.

Oh Lori, I'm so sorry it did't go well. I'm sending you hugs. Sorry, I don't have any experience with the shot.

Oh, I am SO SORRY! I've so been there with the crying and fear. I do think you are right to question the cortisone. I have never used them, although they were recommended when my heel had a stress fracture. Healing is slow, and as runners, we are impatient. I seem to be learning this lesson over and over again myself. Can you get a second opinion before going ahead with the shot?

I'm sorry that you're feeling down. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better.
