What causes itching on wrist after taking steroid injection?
Patient: I was diagnosed with Tenosynovitis in my wrist after suffering with pain for 3 months .My Gp gave me a steroid injection which I have had in my other joints before.I have since developed intence itching around the wrist and it s quite red .What is causing this? Doctor: You might be having an infection . How many days since you had the injection. Best thing to do do is not to scratch it too much, and show it to gp as soon as possible.
