    it's quite hard to say as we are all different and react differently to these things. You should probably rest the joint for a bit though..
    I hope it works for you :D

    Hi
    The thing with steroid injection is that some get great relief and some dont, The one I have had recently in the hip has worked quite good...it was more painful for around 3 days then I could feel the difference .
    Hope it kicks in very soon x
    Love

    My ex-MIL has had steroid jabs in her hands about 3 times now.

    For trigger finger in her case

    Each time it has taken 2/3 days to kick in and lasted about 6 months :)

    Fingers crossed it works well for YOU

    Love

    Everyone is different in what works and in how soon it either does or doesn't - I hope you feel some benefit soon. DD
