steriods are not meds to "numb" so it can not be totally numbing your bunions... steriods get out the inflamation... fast... there by relieving pain. why not just get the damn things operated on removed... steriod shots on going are bad for you... did they tell you the steriods soften your bones... did you know you are not supposed to have more than 2 steriod shots per any yr.??? you should read up on them... I've had way too many...i know...they can damage your heart too..
