Not all cortisone shots are created equal. After 27 years in practice I rank them — and some of the results may surprise you.
Works great: trigger finger, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel in pregnancy, knee osteoarthritis short term.
Use with caution: carpal tunnel in general, plantar fascia, shoulder impingement and bursitis.
Think twice: rotator cuff tear, Achilles tendon, and tennis elbow — which is actually worse at one year compared to doing nothing.
Drop your condition in the comments and I’ll tell you where it lands and why.

Most of the time I can tell if you have carpal tunnel before I even touch your hand — just from how you describe your symptoms. Here’s what I listen for.
Waking up with numbness and tingling in your thumb and first two fingers. Shaking your hand out to make it stop. Dropping glasses. Struggling with buttons.
That’s not a coincidence. That’s a pattern. And that pattern means nerve damage that doesn’t come back.
If this is you — don’t wait.

Your fishing gloves are as important as your life jacket.
Hand injuries are the second most common injury I see off fishing boats — and unlike falls, they’re almost entirely preventable. A cut-resistant glove rated for puncture and slash resistance handles hooks, knives, spines, and line burns. The same gear commercial crews have worn for years.
What to look for: cut resistance rating (ANSI A4 or higher), grip in wet conditions, and enough dexterity to still handle terminal tackle. Protection means nothing if you take the glove off to tie a knot.
Your hands are irreplaceable. Treat them accordingly.
