It’s been a week now and it’s feeling fabulous, if only this could stay permanently. I wore gloves and splints solidly for 3 days and it helped massively. Now I’m down to when I’ve over done it with them. I’m using my hands a lot too by doing yoga each day. Even my wrists are feeling stronger since the injections.

Side effects haven’t been as bad this time, some heightened emotions but I’ll be honest it’s a painful emotional month anyway, so not sure the injections added to it. I have had a few super hot flushes but they thankfully pass quick enough.

My elbows are to be desired, but I often get looser joints elsewhere after injections. So the shoulder has subluxed a few times and the elbows too. But some extra loving and awareness when I do things, this should pass reasonably soon.

We are off camping this week, so hands will be put through their paces, and I will do specific exercises like the ones above to keep them moving. Let’s see how long this steroid works for. (I’m hoping for 4mths at least)
