How long does it take for a cortisone shot to work on a heel spur?
A cortisone shot injected into the heel for conditions such as plantar fasciitis typically takes a few days to start working. Most people may experience relief within a day or two, while for others it might take up to a week or two to feel significant improvement. It's important to note that the effectiveness can vary depending on the individual's condition, the severity of inflammation, and other factors. Additionally, the duration of relief provided by a cortisone shot can vary from person to person, ranging from weeks to months. READ MORE

What are the treatments for a heel sports injury?
Heel sports injuries can vary in severity and type, so it's important to consult with a foot & ankle specialist/Podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. However, here are some general treatments that may be recommended initially for heel sports injuries: Rest: Give your heel sufficient time to heal by avoiding activities that worsen the pain. Rest is crucial in the early stages of injury. Ice: Apply ice to the affected area to reduce inflammation and numb pain. Use a cold pack wrapped in a thin cloth for about 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Elevation: Elevate your foot above the level of your heart whenever possible, especially when resting or sleeping, to minimize swelling. Best, Dr Haupt www.newportfoot.com READ MORE
Will i always have a limp now
Hi, Limping after cellulitis is not normal. You should see a Foot & Ankle Specialist/Podiatrist as soon as possible to be evaluated. Numbness after an injury is usually temporary and does go away with time. But you need x-rays and a proper examination to make sure there is nothing else going on in that foot. Best, Dr Haupt www.newportfoot.com READ MORE
Should I heat or ice my ankle?
For acute ankle injuries, especially those accompanied by inflammation, swelling, or recent trauma, it is generally recommended to use ice (cold therapy) during the initial stages. Ice helps constrict blood vessels, reduce swelling, and numb the area, providing pain relief. Applying an ice pack wrapped in a thin cloth to the affected ankle for about 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours during the first 48 hours after an injury can be beneficial. But if you are dealing with chronic ankle pain, stiffness, or muscle tightness, heat therapy may be more appropriate. Heat increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, and helps alleviate stiffness. You can use a hot water bottle, warm towel, or heating pad on the affected ankle for 15-20 minutes at a time. Remember that these are general guidelines, and individual responses to heat and cold therapy can vary. It's always a good idea to consult with a Foot & Ankle Specialist/Podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, especially if the pain persists or worsens. Additionally, if you have specific medical conditions or concerns, your healthcare provider can offer guidance on the most appropriate approach for your situation.
