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.📱 RESOURCESWebsite: www.bregmanfance.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bregman_fance/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BregmanFootandNerveYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPeterBregmanDPMfootguru🔔 Subscribe for weekly breakdowns on foot health, nerve conditions, and regenerative medicine from a board-certified foot surgeon with nearly 30 years of clinical experience.ABOUT DR.
