Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

I have read your query.

It looks from your details that you are suffering from planter fascitis. You have already taken cortisone injections & even after that you are having pain at heel.There are some recent treatments like use of PRP therapy which can be useful for you.
You should also wear heel insole in both shoes ,this will relive your problem.

With best wishes.
