My shoes show heel wear on the outside edges (left at about 7:00 o'clock position and the right about 4:00 o'clock).
The first set of spinal injections were an experience. When he went to inject my lower back (around L5), I felt a jolt down my left leg all the way to my foot when the needle went in. When he injected the steroid, there was a lot of pressure and a solid jolt down the leg. My leg jumped and I had to grit my teeth. Afterwards, I could get my leg in a certain position and it would almost fold up under me. That wore off by the next day. I've had some relief, but not much - about what I expected. Next round is this Thursday and the last is on the 12th.

Ahh the joys of catching edges on Wachusetts Mountain....especially on "New England Packed Powder", which is ICE anywhere else in the skiing world.
Best to you on the injections. I'll be praying for relief for you.
I had read some things in the past on how over-pronation causes quite a bit of structural issues over time especially joints and spine. That is of course for the average Joe and not for someone who has driven their body like a rental car...
Based on your condition and others I know I realize I have been blessed with as little problems as I have. I started out with a combination of physical therapy and chiropractic adjustments now it is various herbal concoctions (thanks to my wife) an inversion table and a sleep number bed.
Still run and ruck
but I have found that sit-ups are eeevil....
