Hi,

I have a left hand fracture that has developed into metacarpal boss. I've been given a cortisone injection that hasn't fully worked and I'm still getting pain.tWhat I can't understand is the pain is mainly from about 5pm until about 6am the following day so you can imagine sleeping ain't that much fun.should the pain not be all day long if there's a extra bit of bone agrivating tendons? y consultant is now recommending surgery (synovectomy left wrist). Is there any other suggestions from anyone that could help with the nighttime pain to allow me to sleep. Ibuprofen works but don't think taking these long term is a good idea.
