Injections in both heels today (12:30PM).
Have been feeling a little pain in left heel after being on my feet all day. Ultrasound showed a small area of tendonosis in the PF near the rear insertion (IP). Decided to go ahead and treat it since I'll be down for a week or two with the right heel anyway.
(They have a screen set up now so the patient can watch the ultrasound too. Very cool.)
Ultrasound of right heel looked much healthier than 6 weeks ago and the swelling was much reduced. But still two areas of tendonosis: 1) about the same spot as the left heel, rear IP, smack in the middle, and 2) off to the right side a bit and behind the 1st location. I don't think we treated either of these spots last time.
Intense pain when the needle went into spot on left heel and spot #1 on right heel. The pain is actually a good sign becuase you know the needle has found the bullseye. However, this was unusually intense and both sites were sore even after the numbing agent started working which is a first for all of the injections I've had. As I've said before, I think there's a correlation between pain during injection and pain during the healing process.
Anyway, as of 9PM, both heels are really quite painful (it's hard to walk, if that's what you choose to call what I'm doing) and I'm questioning the wisdom of doing both at the same time.
Also got a replacement for the big clunky night splint: SWEDE-O Thermoskin Plantar FXT.

Smaller than the Strasbourg socks I've seen. Kind of like a mini-slipper. Very comfortable. Wore them during a nap this afternoon.
The cold from hell has settled in the sinuses....
