Since always. Cessation of the inflammatory cycle is the key here (along with reduction of cytokines that instigate the sensation of pain). You must be that idiot coach from the other thread pretending he was a doctor.
He's high risk for further damage. Would not surprise me if it flares up during the race. https://www.absolutept.com/plantar-fasciitis-cortisone-shot-19x-risk-rupture/

Bingo. I know a runner whose career was ended by a cortisone shot for PF.
This is exactly how racehorses are treated. Mask the pain and race them until they break into pieces. This is the beginning of the end for Rupp.
When the shot wears off the increased damage will come roaring back.

A friend of mine had PF and got shots and felt great within a few days. Modern medicine is pretty cool at times.
A runner I know had them is still screwed
My best friend got 2 PF shots before a marathon, ran a PR and then took 2-3 weeks off prior and never had a lick of issues after that. I'm assuming Rupp will do the same, do his race then take a little bit of time off after and be good to go.

As a runner and podiatrist, I have an interesting history with PF. I have no dog in the argumentative aspect of the fight, but this is absolutely correct. The inflammatory process seems to be a never ending problem in PF. Typically, I start my patients on specific stretching exercises and only simple Alleve. Steroid injections are at the very bottom of my treatment algorithm. I was skeptical regarding the cytokine comment; and after discussing with my colleague found the attached article. The reference to inflammatory cytokines and its relation to pain also appears correct.

Why would he have done a "22 mile long run" or "10 miles of intervals" between now and a hard half marathon 2 weeks ago with an injured foot? That just doesn't make a bit if sense to me, but I'm just a regular 2:32 guy. Can someone explain this to me?
Nice humblebrag....
Based on his fitness I would venture to guess the HM effort in Prague wasn't actually that hard of an effort and the time was indicative of him having to hold back because of the foot injury. If he did the 22 miler a few days after the HM, maybe a day or two after the cortisone shot, then did the 10 miles of intervals on Thursday or Friday of that same week he then still has about 8 days to taper and freshen up for Boston.
You have to consider the fact he has access to basically every piece of technology and therapist beneficial to recovery. For that reason alone I would expect him to be able to stack this type of workload better than the regular 2:30 guys using their bathtubs to ice in.

He probably wouldn't be resorting to cortisone if this were true.

I always wondered if foreigners also see an elf-boy when they look at him. I feel bad he has to carry that mug around no matter what and naturally looks his worst when he smiles.
Rupp exudes confidence in this video. It's frankly a bit strange to see from him, even without the recent injury. He comes off like a guy that knows he can jog a 2:04, even on a bad day.

Because he knows he is never testing positive and he'll make his full appearance fee.

Or as a guy who knows he won't start the race, or finish well, so the pressure is off.

You don't think Rupp has access to as much if not more than any other distance runner on the planet? He lives down the street from Nike HQ and is one of their beloved athletes. His resources are borderline endless.

Corticosteroid injections can be risky.
Sir Bradley Wigins and Sir Dave Brailsford at Team Sky found out that their corticosteroid injections were risky, with lots of side effects in the media.

I'm saying if that all actually worked he wouldn't need cortisone.
