Years of pain and no answers is not bad luck. It is usually a pattern. After 28 years, 10,000 patients, and 5,000 surgeries, I see the same sequence of mistakes almost every time someone finally walks into my office.

In this episode, I'm going to break down the seven mistakes that keep foot and nerve pain from healing, in the exact order they usually happen, so you can catch yours before it costs you years.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Q: Why does waiting on foot or nerve pain make it worse?
A: Nerve pain has a treatment window, and the longer it goes unaddressed, the more likely the damage becomes chronic or permanent. What feels like a temporary flare is often silent progression.

Q: How many cortisone injections are too many for foot pain?
A: Cortisone is catabolic, meaning it breaks down tissue, so using it more than a few times raises the risk of rupture and lasting damage. Patients who received six or more injections into the plantar fascia have experienced ruptures as a result.

Q: If PRP did not work for my foot pain, does that mean regenerative medicine will not work either?
A: No, PRP is one of the oldest and most limited regenerative options, while treatments like Wharton's Jelly allografts work through completely different mechanisms. Ruling out all regenerative medicine because PRP failed can eliminate options that might actually help.
