Steroid injection update

Turbogran

Well now 2 weeks since Steroid injection in hand for the trigger finger and all seems well no pain at present and only the very occasional click when straightening finger.
Hopefully its stays like it for sometime to come.
Hope you are all reasonably well and as pain free as possible.

hiya my hubby suffers from that i think, he has arthritis in his hands and as he is a car mechanic he has big problems at times, his index finger i think gets stuck either out or in i never remember and he has to physically bend or straighten it... hes got lots of sympathy now as i have had mine for over 20 years! changing nappies and bottle feeding etc etc etc i had to do it all....

anyways hope the shot does the job and you stay painfree xxx

Long may that last Carol

wasn't that worth it?!

My ex MIL has had at least 3 lots of those jabs for her trigger finger.

Yes Leisa they do have to physically pull them straight......l feel faint thinking about it :shock:

Glad you have some empathy now from him indoors!!

Love

Hi Leisa and Toni
Leisa I dont have arthritis as yet in my hands but it was because I use a stick or crutches in that hand and if not them when I am out a rollator according to Dr, so she referred me for injection before it became a problem.

Toni yes it was worth it in my case as it has worked for me. which is just as well cos three days afer injection I fell and broke other wrist. how long did your Mil injections last.
