What Causes Thumb Pain Despite Taking Cortisone Shots For De Quervain Disease?
I had been diagnosed with De Quervain s in December and received a cortisone injection. Relief came in about 4 weeks, however, the pain has returned. I have been exercising as recommended by a P T. Is there any other relief available for this syndrome?

Hello,
You can try steroid shots and analgesics like acetaminophen or tramadol for pain relief. If pain persists, better to consult an orthopaedician and go for surgical correction.
