Re: Re: Cortisone shot for painful thumb

[Guest guest]

When I had a painful middle finger on my right -- dominant -- hand, my

rheumatologist ,who had RA also, shot it with cortisone in the joint.  That

shot got me out of pain!

I have my right thumb that is in severe pain and now it is LOCKING UP and when

this happens I hurt very much. Is this normal? I try to bend my thumb but of

course it is very stiff & will not work with me. If and when I go back to work

hopefully in December the use of my thumb is very necessary when I try to

function, (typing, writing, grasping files & folders) I don't know how I am

going to proceed. Any suggestions?
