Hello,
I have studied your case and i think you are having RSD. this condition causes swelling and stiffness in hand and finger and difficulty in movements. I would suggest you to avoid any more steroid injection and focus on physiotherapy. It will take some one to one and half year. You should also take Pregabalin M tablet at night time and waxe bath for hand. Soon you will feel less pain and stiffnes will also improve.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain and swelling over your hand seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
