Pain In Small Frontal Joint Of Big Toe. X-ray Showed Arthritis In Big Joint. Increased Joint Pain After Steroid Injection. Normal?
I am experiencing a huge increase in joint pain after a steroid injection into big toe joint yesterday.(about 20 hours ago) My original pain is in small frontal joint of big toe but x ray shows arthritis in the bigger joint hence doctor thinks the larger joint is the problem and injected here. Can hardly walk today. Is this normal and can I expect improvement soon (if only to original pain level?)
