Will Taking Cortisone Help Cure Pain And Numbness Due To Carpel Tunnel Syndrome?
Yesterday I had a cortisone injection to help the pain and numbness in my right hand from carpal tunnel syndrome. Shortly afterwards, I began to experience trouble with my digestion after eating. It is the same thing the next day. About how long does this symptom last?

Its unlikely that injectible cortisone may be the cause for digestion, however consult and obtain Rabeprazole 20 mg on empty stomach in the morning once a day for 5 days.It may help.If cortisone doesnt help relieve carpal tunnel, then an orthopedic surgeon may undertake decompreesion surgery if necessary
