Look up 'wrist tenosynovitis' and see if it matches your symptoms. Hand pain is so annoying, isn't it?

I was having similar issues, went to my primary care doc and ended up with a diagnosis of carpal tunnel, but splints didn't do any good for me. Knowing I had pinched nerves in my neck (2 levels shown on MRI) and knowing I had pain along a dermatomal path in my shoulder, I asked the pain mgmt doc if she thought an epidural injection in the cervical area would do anything for the hand/wrist pain. She said it was worth a try. Not sure if it was this injection or just the steroid effect, but my hand pain and swelling has been gone since that time (2 weeks ago). For me, if that pain returns, I'm likely going to go see the hand specialist for an eval.
