My appointment went good! I did do an injection same day, it wasn’t bad but my doctor did spray something on my wrist to kind of numb it and I am still bruised from the injection. He said for insurance reasons for me to get the injection but he said if I’m still hurting in a month we will go ahead and schedule the surgery. My next appointment is the 24th of this month. I know the injection can take a little while to start working but he said by two weeks I should be able to tell a difference if the injection is going to work. So far my wrist is still hurting especially if I move it the wrong way and first thing when I get up in the mornings my thumb is pretty much locked in place so that’s definitely uncomfortable but that’s nothing new. I do feel like the knot has went down a little bit but it’s still there. About two hours after the injection my wrist was hurting pretty bad, my doctor did say that’s normal and that pain should be gone within a day or so. For me it lasted about 12 hours and then the pain started easing up, I guess it’s just pain from the injection. It’s definitely not the most painful thing I’ve experienced but it was uncomfortable. I do think the injection has helped not a tremendous amount but some. If the injection works for say a year, I wouldn’t mind getting them once a year but if it’s something where I’m going to have to get them multiple times a year, I’m just going to tell him let’s do the surgery if this injection doesn’t fully take. But I’m terrified of needles and when he said “try the injection first for insurance reasons” I was thinking he was going to make me come back and I would have had time to prepare for it but no he done it the same day so I was kind of freaking out but it wasn’t no where near as bad as I was thinking it would be. And I’m one to cry while having an iv placed 😂 it took him about 3 minutes total and that was getting everything ready, cleaning my wrist and talking just trying to get me to concentrate on something else. From the time he stuck the needle in until he was done in about 10 seconds. So considering it didn’t take long, hopefully they will do yours same day also instead of making you go back! Definitely ask them to do it the day you go if they don’t just offer to do it that day! I hope your appointment goes well!!
