Dealing with Chronic Hand and Wrist Pain

My husband had hand pain along with what I think they call a trigger finger. They found nothing on the X-ray so they gave him a shot of cortisone in his hand and they pain went completely away. That was about 8 months ago. The doctor said he would eventually have to have another one. But so far so good

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!!! I injured my arm in half a dozen ways 3 1/2 years ago. The sprain and strains have healed as well as possible, the bone remodeled as much as possible but the cartilage is still mangled and the permanent damage to my nerve endings is now what I’m dealing with. I’ve had several sets of X-rays and PET scans and the pain I feel does not have a visible cause. I have been mistreated, humiliated, judged and dismissed by many specialists and PAs in Central/Southern Maine. Nerve Away topical serum was pretty helpful, Voltaren Arthritis Gel is good for excessive swelling days, especially because I have pre carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis in that arm. Hyland’s FlexMore is super helpful but pricey. If you are going to bother take Tylenol, take the Rapid Release capsules. Aleve Liquid Gels can be helpful too, especially if you do not have stomach issues. Most heat is your friend I guarantee!

Maybe carpel tunnel? I know it can be super painful and doesn’t show on x-rays. My roommate deals with a lot of wrist-related issues and she’s found a little relief with arthritis cream and a compression brace.
