Wolfman (whom I believe is a podiatrist if memory serves me correctly) hit the nail on the head. Steroid injections of the Achilles tendon are a HUGE NO NO. Sometimes a brief course of oral steroids may help, but I would never allow anyone to inject mine. Will defer to podiatrists/orthopedists/Vickie for further discussion. Dr Dave

Yes, I am a podiatrist. Since this was originally addressed to
Vickie, I was going to stay out of the thread.
When I saw that she had been injected at least twice, I couldn't refrain from replying!

I will add my other 2 cents if asked. Although, I must say I am interested in Vickie's whole body evaluation and recommendations.
