Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common, painful condition for which patients sometimes seek treatment in the emergency department. Although corticosteroid injections are helpful for PF, they are painful. ⋯ Patients may not have to wait until an appointment with a specialist to begin experiencing analgesia for PF.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of the analgesic efficacy between arthroscopically placed continuous suprascapular nerve block and ultrasound-guided continuous superior trunk block: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
Single-shot suprascapular nerve block and superior trunk block have been reported to provide a noninferior analgesic effect after shoulder surgery with a lesser incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paresis compared with interscalene brachial plexus block. This study hypothesized that continuous suprascapular nerve block provides noninferior analgesia with minimal effects on diaphragmatic movement compared with continuous superior trunk block in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. ⋯ Continuous suprascapular nerve block provides statistically inferior analgesia compared to the continuous superior trunk block; however, the continuous suprascapular nerve block had a minimal effect on the phrenic nerve function.
