Hi my 7 yr old daughter had her first steroid injection in wrist for JIA last Fri, we were told within 48 hrs we should see a difference- well I think the pain has gone slightly but she is very very stiff (she had previously been wearing splint in day) and finds any suggestion to her using right hand a big NO.Feeling very dispondant as thought she would be so much better and isnt yet- when will we see a change?Also my consulatnt said that under GA she had good range of movements so he wasnt so sure we needed urgent physio so we have to just wait for appt in post.I dont know what I should be doing with her wrist- everything I suggest she hates!
