                        I have been diagnosed with the same foot problem you have.  Tell me, was the cortisone a shot?  My Dr. has just made an appointment for me with a foot specialist and I have been wondering if I should go.  Think mine is getting better.  I wear walking shoes all the time.  Good luck.
