What Causes Numbness In The Arm After Receiving Celestone And Lidocaine Injections?

I have seen hand specialist 8 weeks ago because of wrist and he used injection (Celestone and Lidocaine) . I was fine up to six weeks and week ago started to feel numbness and uncomfortable. The Dr. said if first injection did not work I have to go for second time and if the second injection did work last option is surgery, what is your opinion? Regards, Hassan
