    Retrocalcaneal bursitis

    Physio reckons i've got retrocalcaneal bursitis on left heel, feels like its been hit with a hammer!! Had it since january, recommends corticosteroid injection to clear it up. Anyone got experience/advice?

    No, but it sounds impressive.

    Make sure he hits the right spot - think there is some evidence of a potential link between corticosteroid injection in the heel causing subsequent achillies problems.
    If Doc hasn't mentioned already make sure you specifically ask about it first.

    If your physio hits the wrong spot, the additional pain may make you forget about your left heel
