    Steroid injections for me were horrendous...I had them in one hand and refused anymore because the pain was so horrific!! My hamd swelled like a balloon and the fluid all gathered in my palm..I am 2 days post surgery and would recommend even though at the moment I'm struggling, because I can now see light at the end of the tunnel
