It has been a week since I had my injections in both hands ,my severity was 2 in left,3 in right.I have had no improvement ,The first 2 days were uncomfortable as expected then my hands were still numb fingers and still finding it very uncomfortable driving ,carrying and numbness when sleeping all the same.

Sounds as though you might be part of the 20% or so that do not really respond to steroids. I would probably give it another week just in case there is a late response and then we will have to decide whether to try a second dose of steroids or to go for surgery. JB
