Hi all,
I just found out that I have peroneal tendenosis, or an ankle condition that could flare up. I have three strikes that make this likely to occur: I'm overweight, have high arches, and have a very old injury (35 years ago) to my ankle. Yesterday I got shot of cortisone in the afflicted area, and got instant relief with the promise of more relief to come over the coming week.
My question is, could a pharmacist give me a shot of cortisone if I need it? Or would I have to go elsewhere? I'll be bringing my ankle brace on the summer 2016 Camino, so that should help. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers, Katie
