Have Osteoarthritis, Have Had Two Cortisone Shots, Done Physio, Acupuncture. What Is Wrong?
Hi I have had two cortisone shots in my second and third joint in my foot two weeks ago. The doctor says I have experienced cortisone flare but it has not settled down. I have osteoarthritis and have problems rolling all the way forward on my toe as the tendon (I think) hurts. I have been dealing with this for about 4 years. Before the shots I could walk normally and exercise. After exercising and sitting when I get back up I limp until it works itself out now I limp all the time. I'm thinking I might have a different problem besides the arthritis. I have orthopaedic inserts, have had chiro. massage, physio and acupuncture. I am desperate as I have a trip to the Amazon coming up. Help!!!

Hi, Osteo arthritis is such a cunning problem,don't worry every problem will have its own remidy.
I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe injection of vitamin B1,B6, and B12, along with pain medicines.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Thank you.
