Has anybody had injection shots for cts?
Let me know how it has or has not helped,
what it felt like, etc. Any help will be
appreciated.

Got Shot 2 Weeks Ago Posted: 12-27-07 16:44pm
I got my cortisone shot about 2 weeks ago.
The shot was not all that painful except
for a lot of pressure for about 20 seconds
while the cortisone is released. For the
next 30 minutes I did not feel any pain.
After about 30 minutes I was home and
started feeling the swelling along with
constant pain. On a scale of 1-10 it was
about a 9. I could not move any of my
fingers or my wrist with out crying. This
pain lasted for about 48 hours until the
swelling started to go down. The only time
it was not at a 9 (pain level) was when I
had an ice pack on it with Advil in my
belly. The pain was at a 5-7 during that
time. After the swelling went down I had
very little to no pain at all. Just
recently when I reach for something or
move my wrist too fast I can feel my
nerves move and jolt. It is the weirdest
feeling ever. It starts to tingle for
about 20 seconds and then stops.
Good luck in your injections or surgery if
you choose do to it. I decided on the
injection to see if it works.

CT shot Posted: 04-11-08 19:04pm
I had the shot yesterday, a little
discomfort when the medicine was going in,
doc froze the injection spot, hurt like
h*** about two hours later-----still
hurting today not as bad I could slap the
doc, but you never know if it will help
until you try. After the pain started,
could not move my fingers, hand or wrist
without EXTREME PAIN!!!!!, today I can
move my fingers, but when my wrist bends
it hurts----not as bad, hopefully it will
help after all of this FYI do not get it
in the hand you use most until you know
what it will do to you. Good luck, I would
try it, it may help. I take lortab for
pain, so see if doc will give you pain
meds, not that it works that well, but a
little relief, I found that heat helped me
better than ice.
