If you have had a cortisone injection for plantar fasciitis, a neuroma or any other inflammatory condition, and experienced increased pain at the injection site you are not alone.

This may manifest itself as localized pain, redness and swelling and may last for up to 24hrs. post-injection.

You can take some oral anti-inflammatories such as advil or aleve as well.
