Hi there
I have inflammation/fluid in the ECU and first extensor compartment. It occurred due to overuse and overcompensation for my left wrist (tenosynovitis). It started back in June last year, and I was given physio exercises which didn't settle things until I went on holidays for a month. I came back to work and it seemed to be ok for about 3 months. My workload peaked, I was typing more and mousing along with writing notes and my right hand got worse.

I'd like to know if anyone can tell me about the success rates for cortisone injections (ultrasound guided) particularly in wrist joints, and will it be harmful if I've already had one in my other wrist? Of course following cortisone I would expect to continue my hand strength rehab and remedial massage to get rid of the trigger points.

Many thanks for your advice
Angie
