Had cortisone shot for dequervains now have sm hard bump on wristbone below thumb-normal? still mild pain

Doctor: I would see the doctor again who performed the shot. Some steroid shots within 2-3 days of injection can cause a localized reaction which can get better with ice and pain killers. If this is painful please see you doctor

Probably ok: Is the lump at the site of the injection? Is so, then that can happen and will go away over time. It can take several weeks for the tendinitis to resolve.
