DH or trouble as he is known, had a steroid injection in his wrist yesterday did the buttons on his shirt today first time in months. He is like a kid in a sweet shop today, I have to help him dress and shower every day the only thing he did alone was shirt buttons. My day is going great,don't know how long this injection will last at the moment don't care .

Steriod injections are magic aren't they?!

My sister has had some in the past and wishes it was possible to have them permanently.

Steroid injections are fantastic. I have had one for tendonitis and DH had three after crumbling vertebrae at the top of his spine trapped a nerve and left him in almost unbearable pain. That was 10 years ago and he has had no problems since.

Not wishing to put a damper on the joy, the injection I had earlier this year made things much much worse.
Glad all went well fir you dh though.

Oh dear silverlining48 I'm sorry to hear that. Did it at least go back to the original level of pain eventually?

I'm glad your husband is enjoying life Graygirl

No Namsnany, the only thing which stopped the post steroid guided injection pain was a new hip.

My Daughter has RD so have seen these injections from no effect to pain free for 6months. This man had his first TKR at 56, other one at 60, then things went down hill resulting in in total revision 3years later.Lived with Arthritis in base of spine for last 3years he is 72 now this wrist was breaking point, If it only lasts till end Jan that's ok as by then we will have been to Norfolk to visit his 8 grandchildren and his 16 great grandchildren
