I'm a podiatrist. Treat quite a few athletes. Treat 5 plantar fasciitis (if that is what you have) patients everyday for 16 years.

Is the pain in the ball of your foot where the toes bend, or the arch, or the heel?

Is it central to the foot or towards the big toe or little toe?

PM me and I can probably recommend someone in your area.

IMHO - cortisone on the first visit is against the rules if you don't know what is wrong - esp. in an athlete. Ypu are a professional athlete, expect to be treated like one.
