It certainly helped me, that swelling went down a lot.
Now I try to use my left hand more. Still not as near good as the right. |
No, he didn't say anything about a sling.
the one thing I worried about the cortisone injection was that last year when I fractured my knee and tore the rotator cuff in my left arm, the surgeon gave me the cortisone injection in my knee. About a week later I had an appointment with my back pain management specialist, and he said he couldn't give me the usual injections then as I had recently had a cortisone injection and it was too soon!! I see him next week and I bet I will have to wait for my back injections because of having the cortisone shot yesterday. The surgeon's nurse said it shouldn't make a difference, but I remember last year having to wait on my back injections. (I get 6 in my lower back and a week later get 6 in my upper back)
