Will It Be Safe To Have Cortisone Shots On Thumbs?

I had cortisone shots in both thumbs last Friday along with carpal tunnel surgery in right wrist. My wrist feels great! no more tingling numb fingers But thumbs hurt a lot and seem much worse! I can not pinch or twist open anything. Am I trying too soon?

taking cortisone is the last second line of medical practice. you need to check with your EMG and NCV reports if any thing in particular is wrong with it. if all fine with EMG and NCV report than and MRI may of help. it could be a easy way to come close to diagnosis and further treatment plan. if you are a computer addicted person or too much game player on a smart phone you need to avoid such things. rest can be discussed with a close by specialist.or directly to my via this forum.
