I have too. at 2mg. Saw Hand doc. but she is a surgeon and said I needed carpal tunnel surgery. Gave me a shot for trigger finger and I had no more pain. So if a cortisone shot can fix it. How is it I need surgery after the shot wears off ? Not sure I understand it. Is there no other way to keep inflammation at bay?
