Cortisone shot for numbness

Cortisone shot for numbness

If you have MS and your hand and arm are tingling and numb, will a cortisone shot work?

I'm not a doctor, but at the end of March I went to the ER with severe right leg and groin numbness and I had to have 3 days of IV Solumedrol (Methylprednisolone) at 1000 mg/day....

In my humble opinion, there is NO way that my numbness would have subsided with a cortisone shot.

Do you have MS??

HI,
I am in limboland.  I have a lot of things going on and the doctors are trying to figure it all out.  They have said MS is a possibility.  Thanks for replying to my previous question.

OMG, isn't Limboland horrible??   I'm still there, too....FOR NOW!  I am hoping to get some definite answers on May 14th....

What stage of Limbo are you in??  I mean, what kind of tests have you had, etc...and what did they show??

Take care,

Tammy :)
