Thank you all so much

For your advice, I had both wrists injected yesterday, I was told 24hrs total rest then only light use of my hands for a further 24 hours, then back to normal, well as normal as life gets with RA.

Bless you all

Oh , I had one wrist injected two weeks ago. It's mostly not sore now but I can't bend it at all.

What was going on with your wrists and how much improved are they?

it’s difficult after a Steriod injection , how can you rest 🤔

I had one in my shoulder 2 weeks ago and had to drive home afterwards 🤷‍♀️ right shoulder and right handed

I hear you, I was told not to drive to or from the appointment, but resting is very difficult when you have to move at times

Sorry to say that I was told my insurance was invalidated if I drove after a steroid injection and instructed not to.

[emmajj1971 in reply to Stills]

That's good to know because I have never been told that but was told I could not drive after my rituximab infusions but I had lots of people telling that it wasn't the case. If your told by your heath team follow their advice like I do xx

Exactly, we all know insurance companies will use every reason not to pay out and who wants to risk themselves and others unnecessarily for the sake of a bus ride, lift or taxi
