Does A Cortisone Shot In The Hip Cause Disfiguration Of The Foot?
My left foot has changed from heel-to-toe to rolling outside-to-inside. I was given a cortisone shot in the left hip for bursitis and the doctor hit a nerve which caused me to become completely disabled for a time, then gradually better. Did that cause this foot problem? Or is this the symptom of a stroke? Or both?

Hello,
If the nerve was hit when doctor perform the shot, then, all you are experiencing is nerve trauma from that accidental hit. It's great it is getting better. I do not think it is a stroke, but nerve trauma/damage is difficult to resolve, and requires time. So, be patient, and follow your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
