I got my flu shot at Kroger Pharmacy, but am still wondering if I should have waited. After he had begun the process he asked if I had any sort of infection and I told him I'd been taking Cipro for bladder infection. He went ahead and gave me the shot . but now I wish I'd waited.... I got two cortisone shots in my heel...The first one lasted about 2 weeks and the second one had NO effect whatsoever. PLUS they charged over 100 bucks to the insurance co just for sticking that needle in my heel. I didn't go back...Got some shoe pads, did the old rolling a tennis ball around under my foot...Helped a LOT! My niece went to a Wal Mart's near them in MO . and they have a machine that measures where the pressure points are on your feet and they sell all sorts of she inserts to correct stuff. She paid about 40 bucks for inserts, but her feet don't hurt any more. I have seen the commercial for this machine, but don't know if it's in the stores here or not. Will certainly check....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > In a message dated 10/11/10 15:09:55 Central Daylight Time, > AZJen@npgcable.com writes: > Meant to add this message as a "P.

Jeannie T., After I had been in & out of hospital for between 8-9 yrs, I was placed in a rehab hospital where I was suppose to be walking on a regular basis. However, they seldom had time for me. B/c of that, I now have flat feet & have to wear orthonics. I have had to get rid of all my shoes b/c all I can wear are Natural Balance Shoes or orthopedic shoes with the orthonics inside of them. As long as I'm fit well with a shoe, then I'm pretty good. I have a very narrow foot..or should I say heel. I think I have triple a triple a heel..plus, all my shoes have to be narrow. I cannot get away with a medium shoe. I just had my cortisone shot in my knee. I didn't expect it to help me & it didn't. I finally was given pain meds after I begged them to do something about the pain in my knee. They found out that my knee cap was fractured & due to many falls, my knee cap was nearly sheared off. I will probably need knee surgery. Cannot get into to see the surgeon unto 10/18. At least I now have some pain meds, so I cannot complain. I think when they realized how bad off I was, they figured they should give me something for pain. ~J ----- Original Message ----- From: <askgranny@juno.com> To: <southern-chat@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 10:19 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Oh my aching feet ! /cortisone shots. > I got my flu shot at Kroger Pharmacy, but am still wondering if I should > have waited.
