Thank you for the prompt reply,
sorry i didnt check the forum for updates.

The injection was given b/w shoulder and elbow in muscle.

- The hand can only move down not up. It is totally dropped by wrist.
- The problem started right after injection was given.
- Injection was one cc decloran given for back pain.
- The sensation or change is not felt on effected region its normal. But the thumb and index finger are feeling freez a little.
- i still didnt feel and change in 21 days

Regards
Nauman
