A member asked:
Should i ask for a local anaesthetic before getting a cortisone injection in my wrist.?

No: Wrist injections are tolerated by most. You'd get poked with two needles over one. I anticipate you'll be able to handle it just fine.

No: Ethyl chloride, a skin refrigerant, should provide adequate help in reducing the pain of the needle stick.
