Patient Reviews
Oct 26, 2024
The visit was super fast. I got a cortisone shot which turns out it helped the pain from 2 torn ligaments in foot (noted from MRI). He told me if the cortisone doesn't work in a day or two he would see me back. And he left immediately after giving the shot. So I assumed I was free to go and did so. I didnt get any detail about the torn ligaments or what to expect. I didnt get any instructions on how to care for afterwards. Do I keep wearing the boot if pain stops? Do I go back to work after the shot or rest?
