Hi, I have arthritis in my hands and recently was diagnosed with carpal tunnel, was advised to try a steroid injection and physio, I have the steroid injection tomorrow and just wondered if others had experience of this, any side effects, and can you drive afterwards? Thanks for reading.

    Hey I haven't had any injection in my hands, but i have had in my knees. I was not allowed to drive and was to keep moving to an absolute minimum for 48 hours to allow it time to settle.

    I would suggest you reach out to the people doing the injection so you know for sure in case you need a lift home!

    Hi Thanks for commenting

    I have a lift planned to be on the safe side, and hopefully get any other questions answered tomorrow. May have to take it easy at work the next day then!
