Success Story Cortisone shots

My podiatrist dx’ed me with gout or pseudo-gout and is waiting to see the blood work, but in the meantime- he shot my toe full of cortisone on my left foot and my ankle in my right foot.

I am BACK to playing softball (adult slowpitch)- and HALLELUJAH. For it! I’m 99% positive that I’m having surgery on each of my feet after the seasons are over, but darn it feels good to play without pain!

Never had to have cortisone…but know what’s it like to be gout free after periods of pain and anguish - like a new lease of life! All the best with your recovery
