Thanks for the info. I've done both cortisone and alcohol shots. The cortisone shots work, but only after about the 5th shot. Then I'll be pain free for a couple of months before needing a whole other set of shots. The doc doesn't think so much cortisone is good. Then we did a series of alcohol shots, and those really just didn't help. I'm glad they worked for you!

That's why it looks like I'm down to surgery! And, I'm a real chicken about surgery...

Biking doesn't bother me at all, but walking is another story. Every step of my right foot hurts terribly all day long. It's really very depressing...
