[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Again, my shoes are NOT the issue.  Three people who know what they're talking about (the guy at Fleet Feet, a PT, and an orthopedic surgeon who runs marathons) have looked at my shoes and said they do not need to be replaced yet.  I also had the shoes fitted at Fleet Feet, by someone who looked at my gait, my arches, etc.  I have inserts (fitted at Fleet Feet) to support my arches and pronation.  The orthopedist examined the brand and model of shoe as well.  Believe me, I wish fixing this was as simple as buying new shoes.  That would be a whole let less time, hassle and expense than PT twice per week.

PP who posted again about the dry needling, thank you.  It is definitely something I will look into if the current strategy (Celebrex, stretching, strengthening, foam rolling) doesn't work.  I think the orthopedist suggested the cortisone shot for only if I end up with the kind of pain I had back in August - i.e. waking up screaming at night.  I'm sorry if the way I phrased it made it seem like it would just be a general fix.[/quote]
