What Causes Pain In Fist After Cortisone Shot When Diagnosed With Tendonitis?

I am a 64-year-old male. I have difficulty making a complete fist now in both hands. I went to a Hand/Arm Doctor last year with a complaint of soreness in my left hand, thinking I might have arthritis. I was diagnosed with tendinitis in my left hand and received a cortisone injection. X-rays were negative for arthritis. Now I am wondering why my fist won t completely close without some discomfort. Any suggestions or ideas?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

as you mentioned you were diagnosed with tendinits then you should have consulted a physical therapist after the cortisone injection. As the cortisone was just to help you ease of pain, but the inflammation of the tendon has to helped by getting its normal.properly of elasticity for which a physical therapist would have played a key role.

even for now, you should visit a physical therapist and learn about how to get the normal properties of tendon. As with this the joint mobility will improve and the Strengthening will help to get the functioning of the hand close to normal.

well, with the grace of God I wish you good health

regards
