Hi. I'm Carol, I too have been getting injections for the past 2 years.3 years ago I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm. 10 days later, a stroke. I had to re learn everything... from breathing, to walking. My problem remains in the walking, only due to the spatisity in my left foot, which causes my ankle to turn, which causes a great deal of problems walking correctly. When I first started getting the injections it seemed to be a miracle, as I first was hetting severe cramps in the arch of my foot also. those eventually went away. I'm still getting the ones that turn my foot, so I'm wondering if maybe my doc. was hitting the wrong muscle groups, or what??! any thoughts? I've had about 6 or so treatments already!!!
