After an ultrasound I was diagnosed with bursitis in my 5th metatarsal (below the pinky toe). The podiatrist wants to give me a cortisone shot to reduce inflammation.
This will be my first time receiving a cortisone shot. Does anyone have experience with this? What was your experience like?

Yep, I've had the shot for bursitis, although I had "weaver's bottom", or bursitis of the hamstring. I went from a heavy, dull ache to no pain in about 48 hours. Haven't had any pain since and its been nearly a decade.
Key thing is to find out what's causing the bursitis and try to minimize it.
had bursitis on me kneecap. Tried rest and PT for a month with no luck. Got a shot and was back running that afternoon. No issues since.
This is encouraging. Thanks for the responses.
From what I've read the risk is pretty low. I think the question is whether this actually promotes healing, or just reduces the pain.
Hi Treetment,
I have exactly the same problem. Dis it work for you? Are you pain free now?
Thanks
