Jana,
I'm a family practice doc so I'll defer to Wolfman as he has much more expertise in this area, but from your description one of the things that comes to mind is a stress fracture. Have you had it x-rayed???? And sometimes even an x-ray won't show a stress fracture and you need a bone scan. And I TOTALLY agree with Wolfman--steroid injections are certainly OK for some problems but not until you have a proper diagnosis. I'll jump out of the way and allow the specialist to take over (and keep monitoring his posts so I can learn as well!) Best of luck, Jana. Now that you have found this site you have automatically inherited several thousand fans! Get well soon! We will be cheering for you. Dr Dave
