Thanks! Have a good trip! That is great you plan to workout when you are on the road. Back when I had a travel position I would never workout on a regular basis.

Topic: RE: Bone spur, ouch
I think I know what you have. Plantar Fasciitis? Ouch. Check this out, it might help a little...

Some docs recommend wearing heels right out of bed in the morning to prevent irritation.
Cortisone shots are not that bad contrary to popular belief. I have been injected 5 times in my sacral joints and it didn't hurt at all actually. It may give you some much needed relief. Just a note, that ice acts as a catalyst to the steroid and helps it work much better, so ice it down after an injection (if you opt for that).
My thought to you is, would you rather have the short term "pinch" of an injection or the long term pain you are having now. Sometimes surgery is the best fix. But, I understand where you are coming from, it isn't a fun surgery to have. So, in the interim the injection may bring you some much needed relief.
Ok, off the soap box now. I hope you feel better. I would love a shot right now in my back...actually a hot bath and massage would probably do the trick for me....HEY EARL??? Anybody seen my husband?
Take care,
Val
