I recently had a cortisone shot in the wrist and the gremilin there is quiet, for now....wait til this wears off, he will be meaner than......I picture him all bundled in duct tape right now, just furiously fighting to get free to poke again.

On the cortisone, they did it to see if it calmed carpal tunnel which I tested negative for, and it did. This issue is worst at nite with numbness of thumb, index and middle finger....I thought for sure it would be CPS, but it isn't....however, why did the shot totally alleivate symptoms? I wonder how this connects to my autoimmune disease?
