Chronic Pain, Abnormal Looking Wrist And Wrist Bone With Bulging Veins After Taking Corisone Shots. Have Osteoarthritis. Help
I have osteo arthritis and occupational overuse in my hands. Hairstylist for 25 years and have spent the last year suffering so I decided to do one injection of cortisone in each hand. I have a new kind of chronic pain and an abnormal looking wrist with all of the surrounding veins bulging...my wrist bone is deformed looking now. Is this a side affect?

Hi
Thank for choosing HCM
Not for sure this may be or may not be side effects of steroid, the complete picture is depend upon the clinical examination, but still i could say that this must be osteoarthritis of single joint, or if you have another joints effected too then it must be osteoarthritis, of multiple joints, you better consult to some good physician instead of taking such hazardous treatment, have nice day.
