    Thanks for feedback . 

    Last year I received 3 Cortisone shots -a month apart for plantar fasciitis . They helped but 3 months later I was diagnosed with AFIB. 

    Coincidence? Don't know ? 

    I am in pain now and need an alternative . Any suggestions ? Thanks! Didi

      Links to a good website below.  If pain meds like Tylenol do not work, cortisone can be the next step - but only short term.

      Reading this, Physical Therapy to stretch tissues seems a good treatment.  If nothing works, surgery can help contracted tissues that seem to cause the pain. 

      I had a few shots years ago in my elbow for something like carpel tunnel.  There is strong advisement to not use many shots, it is very powerful.  3 shots for you sounds like enough no matter what else is going on.  See an orthopeadic surgeon to discuss the next step.  PT if you haven't tried that or surgery.
