Article: Cortisone is a steroid with strong anti-inflammatory properties. Ask your regular doctor about getting plantar fascia cortisone injections to help reduce your inflammation and pain. Some regular doctors and general practitioners give the injections in-office, or they could refer you to a specialist for the procedure.  Cortisone usually starts working within 3 to 5 days after the injection. Effects can last for several days to a few months -- results will vary. Most people are good candidates for this treatment. Cortisone injections are usually a temporary solution and your doctor may limit the number you can have. Too many injections in that area can cause the plantar fascia to rupture. Keep in mind that many conditions can cause heel pain beyond heel spurs. Custom orthotic inserts are generally more expensive than generic heels cups and insoles purchased over the counter. However, they are specifically designed for your needs, making them very effective and helpful in the long run. If taken care of properly, custom orthotic inserts can usually last you up to 5 years. ESWT is a non-invasive medical procedure that involves high-energy shockwave impulses being sent to the tissues surrounding the heel. It may stimulate healing for damaged plantar fascia tissue.  ESWT is usually done in multiple sessions over a period of time determined by your doctor. You may feel an increase in pain right after the treatment, with relief usually starting within a few days.  ESWT does not have consistent results. It's typically used as a last resort before considering surgery. The reason that ESWT works for some people is unknown. It is possible that the shockwaves cause inflammation in the treated area and this causes the body to send more blood to that area, which promotes healing. Before performing surgery, doctors usually give home treatments about 12 months to work. If no other treatments ease your pain, talk to your doctor about surgical options. Surgery doesn't always help this condition and should be considered only as a last result. There are 2 surgeries your doctor will discuss with you:  Instep plantar fasciotomy involves removing a part of the plantar fascia to ease pressure on the nerves in your foot. Nerve injury, arch instability, and rupture of the plantar fascia are all possible complications. However, if the potential benefits of the procedure outweigh the risks, then you may still want to proceed with this treatment option. Endoscopic plantar fasciotomy is very similar to instep plantar fasciotomy, but uses smaller incisions so that you'll heal faster. Endoscopy has a higher rate of nerve damage, so consider this before moving forward with this option.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
See your doctor about getting cortisone injections. Have custom orthotics created for you by your podiatrist. Talk to a doctor about extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Explore surgery options if no other treatments work.

Problem: Article: Cover the bottom of the pot with a few inches of water—the steamer basket or sieve must fit snugly inside the pot and should not touch the water. Place the pot on a burner over medium heat. Allow the water to come to a simmer.  To check the water level, insert the steamer basket or sieve into the pan before bringing the water to a boil. If the water level is too high, pour out some water. You must use at least 1 cup water. Once the water comes to a simmer, place the steamer insert or sieve over the water. Pour the frozen broccoli into the steamer. Cover the pot with a lid. Steam the frozen broccoli for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid and use a fork to assess the vegetable’s tenderness. If the broccoli is tender, turn off the burner and remove the pot from the heat. If the broccoli is not tender, recover the pot and steam for 1 more minute. Remove the lid and set it to the side. Use hot pads or cooking mitts to take the steamer basket or sieve out of the pot of simmering water. Transfer the broccoli into a serving dish. Season to taste and serve. Popular seasoning options include: salt, pepper, olive oil, and/or garlic salt.
Summary: Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Fill the steamer basket or sieve with the broccoli. Steam the broccoli until tender. Season and serve the broccoli.

Plastic-cutting blades have a higher tooth count than a standard wood-cutting blade. This allows for a smoother cut without having jagged edges. It also helps prevent kickback if you’re using an electric saw. Ensure you’re using a blade meant for cutting plastic. Use a thicker blade so the plastic does not melt and stick back together. If you are trying to cut out smaller windows in larger sheets or making small handheld crafts, use a craft blade to chip away small bits of plastic. Drill holes to use as starting points for the blade and shave away the plastic until you reach the guide lines. Clamp a piece of straight wood across the plastic with the line you intend to cut hanging slightly over the edge to cut a straight line. Guide the saw through the plastic sheet, keeping your hand on the wide portion of the saw shoe. Jigsaws allow for better mobility as you make curved cuts into the plastic. Using a blade with 10 teeth per inch, turn the plastic to make the shapes you need.  Drill holes in the plastic along the guide lines so your blade has places to start and stop easily.  Make straight relief cuts from the outside of the plastic to the curves. This will help prevent the plastic from warping and shortens the cutting distance. Leave room between the guide lines you’ve drawn and where you cut. You can always file these down later. This type of saw makes cuts only when you pull it, unlike other hand saws that cut when you push and pull it. A pull saw helps make a cleaner, smoother line in your plastic and may be easier for making shorter straight cuts than an electric saw. Use your thumb to guide the blade when you make the initial cut. From there, place the saw into the line you’ve made and pull the saw through.
