A : A cortisone injection accompanied by the use of a splint is one way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome by reducing swelling around the nerve in the carpal canal, reducing pressure on the nerve and hopefully reducing symptoms. However there are times when the injection is not enough and surgery is needed. Many surgeons will try cortisone shots in an attempt to help with out surgery. A cortisone objection typically works in a few days but can take as long as two weeks. The next step may be nerve conduction studies and emgs and consideration of surgery.

Cortisone : Cortisone injections are used as a treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome and other problems aftecting the upper extremity. According to some studies, the effects of cortisone injections for carpal tunnel syndrome are as good as surgery in some cases. Steroid injections in the carpal tunnel are usually the first step in the treatment of symptoms associated with cts. Adverse results are unusual, but as in any medical procedure they could hapened. Reactions to the medications, trauma to the median nerve are exemples of these. You need to go talk to your doctor about it.

Steroid : Steroid injections for carpal tunnel syndrome are meant to be given within the closed space of the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel contains the median nerve, whose compression causes the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. It is possible, though unlikely, that the injection was made into the nerve itself. If so, this can cause worsening of the symptoms as you describe. It is more likely that either the compression of the nerve is severe or long-standing enough that the injection did not help or, alternatively, that your problem is not carpal tunnel syndrome, in which case the injection will also not help. You need to return to the doctor who performed the injection and let him/her know what is happening.
