Is Getting Cortizone Shots In Wrist Due To Wrist Pain Safe?
I have been advised to get cortizone shots in my wrist. My chiropractor thinks about 50% of the wrist pain is due to the wrist itself and 50% is coming from the brachial plexus. He suggests I get the cortizone to see how much of the issue is in the wrist itself. What do you think? My sister says the cortizone is bad for my health.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that it is not advisable to have steroid injection in the wrist area if you have a painful condition and responding to pharmaceutical agents then it is advisable to go for physiotherapy, or get done the investigation, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
