Pain in wrist
I am mother of one year old and having pain in right hand wrist inner side. Doctor suspected DQ tenosynovitis, but nothing came in MRI. In treatment I took anti-inflammatories, physiotherapy, splint wearing and stretching exercises. The condition of wrist is much better from earlier but a stiffness is still there, and whenever I do wrist movement work pain reoccur. Does steroid injection will help in this.

Steroid injection may be considered as a treatment option for De Quervain's tenosynovitis if other conservative treatments like anti-inflammatories, physiotherapy, splint wearing, and stretching exercises have not provided significant relief. However, the decision to undergo steroid injection should be made in consultation with your doctor, considering your individual medical history and the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. It's important to note that while steroid injections can be effective in reducing inflammation and pain, they may also have potential side effects, such as infection, nerve damage, and weakening of tendons. Your doctor can discuss the risks and benefits of steroid injections with you and help you make an informed decision.
