28 March 2022 - 9:46am
Good morning,
Ive recently found out im pregnant around 7 weeks and my carpal tunnel is geting worse on my right wrist. Am i able to have the steriods injection while pregnant? Ive had it before which was along time ago and it helped.
Thank you
Amanda
Yes steroids are safe once you are past the first trimester so it can be done in a few weeks - you will have to manage with a splint until 13 weeks. If you are an old patient of mine you can compete a new symptom severity score here on the website and self refer yourself back to me. JB
