Not many choices left

I saw an Indiana University orthopedic surgeon last Tuesday.  His best guess is plantar fasciitis - which was the first diagnosis I had back in March.  He gave me cortisone shots in both feet, mostly as a diagnostic tool.  The numbing stuff was GREAT - I could walk easily for the first 2 hrs, with no pain.

Alas, that has not continued.  He said it could take several days for them to help, and I am still waiting.  I've heard someone else say it could take 2 full weeks.  All I can do is wait.

I did get confirmation today that Mayo will NOT offer me an appointment.

I have an appt with Cleveland Clinic (another orthopedic surgeon, this will be the 3rd) on Nov 27.  I am not positive that I will keep the appt - partially waiting to see if the shots end up helping.

I am frustrated overall, and knowing I could come home with yet another "I don't know", after inconveniencing several people and lots of money - that is hard for me.  But I haven't ruled it out yet, and will not cancel for at least another 2 weeks, waiting on these shots and my own peace of mind/heart/soul.

Prayers would be appreciated.  I have been asking for direction, and one door has closed, so that IS some direction.
