A member asked:
Had cortisone inject in the de quervains tendon in nov 15. fat has dipped in wrist and my veins constantly bulging out my arm and wrist, why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The steroid: might temporarily reduce the fat in the area of the injection! Otherwise your other symptoms are not due to the shot! Ask the Provider who gave you the injection about the prominent veins! Hope this helps! Dr Z
