Went to hand specialist today. Trigger finger. I've left it too long, it's been hurting pretty good. Well, I went ahead with something.. that I had no idea about..but should have figured..done. I thought that I would go in and they say yes you need surgery. Austin had it done when he was a child. Thumb. Anyway, had a cortisone shot. Oh my word!!! Painful as all get out. Says give it a few days. I know how they work. I've had shoulders, and knee shot up a few times. This supposedly could last up to a year. Here's the scary part. The tip of that finger went numb on the way home. Hmm..called the office when I got home, I mean it was numb. She said they were in surgery and would call back in a bit. By the time she did, it was numb down to the middle of my finger. She said that they add numbing..in the Shot because the cortisone is rough at first. What? They did spray my hand before the needle. She said it happens, to give it 6 to 8 hrs. to wear off. And, if it's still numb in the morning to call. It's 9:30 here..11 is 8 hrs. I'm still numb. It's weird. I don't like this feeling. At all.
