Will A Steroid Shot Reduce Fluid And Swelling Of A Finger?
Hi! I am a 75-year-old woman in very good health (according to my doctor) and overweight. I recently got a large hard swelling on my ring finger. I have had this before and it goes away. However, now I have some damage to my wedding ring and cannot get it off my finger. Tried Windex, butter, soap and cream. Will a steroid shot reduce fluid and swelling? Dava YYYY@YYYY
