One Month Later

Its been almost a month since I got the injection in my foot and here is what happened.

Day of injection: It was a painful process, first the shot into my ankle to deaden the foot, then I could still feel the injection into the foot. When the doctor did the foot part it had more pain killer in it, then he switched over to the cortisone and as he depressed the plunger he said look at it fill up like a balloon.
I wore a boot home and had it on all day for any walking I needed to do. The boot supports my weight so barely any of it was on the sole of my foot. As the pain meds wore off it hurt a little but not a lot.

Day 2: Called and asked doctor for pain meds, prescription strength Ibuprofen but he said no. I wore the boot for most of my walking but was able to do it without the boot. Pain not too bad with OTC Ibu.

Day 3: Doctor said he was giving me a script for pain meds, it was an accident that he didn't do it before. The foot felt pretty good, barely any pain but I picked up the meds just in case.

Since then it's been different pain on different days and I never know what to expect. I know if I get more than my regular step count of 10k then its sore the next day, sometimes it doesn't hurt nearly as much and then I'll take a step that does hurt. A lot.

I have another injection scheduled for June 6th.
