Steroid injection
27 March 2025 - 2:45pm
I had the steroid injection 2 weeks ago. I still have numbness in my index finger and have only noticed a small about 20% difference in my hand. Is this too early to know whether the injection has worked. Thank you

Thank you Jeremy. I have added a new severity score and will do as you suggest in 2 and 4 weeks
For a grade 4 case I would give it a bout 6 weeks before concluding that we have reached as agood a response as we are going to get. AT that pont we will have to decide whether to re-inject or operate. It's a good idea to add a new symptoms severity score to the website now and then in anohter 2 weeks and 4 weeks so we can see if there is a trend. JB
