Carpal tunnel injections
Carpal tunnel injections
Has anyone had carpal tunnel injections? I've got carpal tunnel TERRIBLE (had it mild before becoming pregnant and it's gotten much much worse the last month or two) and Dr suggested the injection in the hand that is in worse shape. I'm scared time death to get the injection. Has anyone gotten this and can you tell me your experience? Thanks! I've had the brace for months and it's not helping at all anymore. My hand is numb and tingling from finger tips to my elbow and I am miserable!

Don't be scared. Cortisone is amazing! I have had 7 injections between my two hands. Some in the thumb and some in the wrist. It's not comfortable but neither is daily pain. I am the tiny percentage who needed surgery after all but the injections were still a godsend! As soon as the soreness from the needle wore off my hands felt 100% better!

I go to the chiropractor and they help tremendously as I did not want to take cortisone shots during pregnancy.

Thank you ladies! I am going to call today and see if I can get in next Wednesday when I'm off. This is absolutely unbearable. I am tingling and in pain 24/7 now and am OVER it.

Bump! Anyone else received the cortisone injection while pregnant? My OB suggested it but I want to hear from other ladies who have had it while pregnant? I am 32 weeks and scheduled tomorrow for injection. Thanks!
