Hypersensitive soles?

Underneath the pads she's probably full of thrush too.......
I'd amend the diet to as close to sugar free as possible, work her on the surfaces she's comfy on, ideally give the hooves a break by taking the shoes off for a while or entirely.
Make sure nothing is taken off the sole or frog at trim time.
Treat for thrush.

we were aware of thrush starting if her feet were in the wet but we kept the wetness out so shes hasnt got thrush. Her diet has already been changed, all sugar cut out and is on a fibre diet. Not allowed to work her as shes is pretty much severely lame and gets worse the more she moves about and has just got treated with steriods so she cant move for a few days so the steriods dont get pushed out of the area thats inflammed.

Tried going shoeless too but the vet advised against it and told me to get the shoes back on her and nothing is ever taken off her sole or frog as her feet are great in that aspect so only gets her toes taken back to raise her heels but its not her feet that are causing the lameness now
 
I think it will be interesting to see how she is after the injection (its the same place my lad had his fwiw). Is there any poss of scanning the ligaments at the back of the pastern with ultrasound to check for damage?
