All,
I had severe hand pain and the inability to make a fist on either hand. Saw an excellent pain management specialist at U of M hospital about six months ago and he suggested a topical cream. It helped somewhat. Went back to see Dr. Smith two weeks ago. He did a shot in either hand and almost immediately my hands felt better than they had in over six months. Didn't realize how much the pain impacted my daily quality of life until it was gone.
