I just can't get better...its miserable...I dread going to work because I am miserable at work..my legs cramp and go numb..my feet and ankles hurt and swell constantly...i take cortisone shots in my feet that only last for like 2 weeks before the discomfort returns...my podiatrist then gives me an oral steroid which helps for also a short period of time but it never goes away..it really affects my quality of life..I cannot work in peace for pain and discomfort
