Steroid injection:
The doctors suggest a corticosteroid shot or commonly known as a steroid shot if the nodules appearing under the palm of your hand are severely tender. The nodules which get incredibly tender are causing more swelling, and for this very reason, a steroid injection is of help to reduce the inflammation and to swell on the hand. The steroid injection imparts powerful anti-inflammatory effects on the affected area, and spontaneously reduces the symptoms of swelling.
Moreover, the injection of corticosteroid also helps in relieving the patient from the pain and in some instances, also prevents the contractures of the fingers. The use of corticosteroid injections aid in lowering the curling and twisting of fingers towards the palm of your hand but does not entirely cure the bending. It is also essential to notice that the steroid shot does not straighten the fingers but can prevent from further bending of the fingers. The frequent and more prolonged use of steroid injections is also mandatory to see noticeable results.
