I have to get Cortisone injections in my wrist...please let this work!!


It usually helps alot when you get a cortisone shot! Using your wrist less also helps. Instead of a shot I just gave my wrists a break for a while after I was in the Army and they are fine now, even after being on the computer way more now.

Well this is what happened to me, I was working and messed up my wrist but didn't think anything about it until about 3 months later the pain was unbearable so I seen some guy and he said I got Dequervians tedonitis I think and I been wearing a splint for the last two month and I can't use my thumb on my right hand, I've been doing physio therapy for those two months and things have improved a lot but I apparently plateau and it's not getting better, so the guy i was seeing said i need to get a Cortisone shot.

Fingers are crossed this fixes it, I need to get out of this house and work, I'm bored!

I thought it was carpel Tunnel. Tendonitis is a bad situation. After all of the physical thearapy can you move your thumb now?

Yes but I still feel a sharp pain and my thumb still does this clicking motion when I move it a certain way (really bad for it), so the pain went for a 15/10 to a 2/10 now, so much better, but it just stopped getting better over the last two weeks, he said it HAS to be pain free to be fixed. So he said I now need an injection which has a 85% chance of curing it for good, but for some people it can come back in a week or month.
