I had very bad pain in both heels and was scared to death of having the shots, so i wouldn't do it. The doctor gave me some pills that I later discovered were steroids, but they worked great. However, I did not want to keep taking steroids for the rest of my life...this was my solution and so far it has worked great (probably not for everyone). I NEVER wear a shoe with a heel (the heel just keeps rubbing on the back of my foot). Even sneakers, I wear the slip on sneakers with no backs or I wear sandals. I have been doing this for a couple of years now and I have had no pain at all in my heels. Haven't tried wearing regular shoes again so I don't know if the pain will come back or not if I do. I have been pain free for about 3 years now by not covering my heel with a closed shoe
