Prefer a Clinic Visit?
Dr Ram provides hand, thumb, and toe injections at the Rodney Street Clinic in Liverpool. This comfortable and accessible location is ideal for those who prefer not to have a home visit. Whether you choose the clinic or home service, Dr Ram ensures the same personalised care to relieve your hands, thumb, or toe pain.
Finger & Toe Conditions Treated with Steroid Injections
Our home visit steroid injections provide fast, effective pain relief for specific conditions that affect hand and toe mobility:
Base of Thumb Joint (1st Carpometacarpal Joint – CMC)
Known as the CMC joint, this small yet vital joint at the base of the thumb can experience significant wear and tear, often leading to discomfort and limited mobility. Cortisone injections target inflammation directly, reducing pain and improving thumb movement.
Trigger Finger
Trigger finger occurs when a finger remains bent even after you’ve opened your hand. A steroid injection into the affected tendon sheath can help release the finger, restoring normal movement and alleviating pain associated with this condition.
Base of Big Toe Joint (1st Metatarsophalangeal Joint – MTP)
The MTP joint at the base of the big toe endures heavy usage and can be prone to inflammation and arthritis. Cortisone injections here reduce inflammation, allowing for greater mobility and pain relief during walking or standing.

- Reduce Pain Medication: Avoid long-term use of pain relief tablets that often come with unwanted side effects.

What to Expect During Your Home Visit Injection
Dr Ram’s home visit injection service ensures professional care in the comfort of your own home. Here’s what to expect:
- Assessment: If you don’t already have a diagnosis from a GP, physiotherapist, or orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Ram will thoroughly examine the affected joint to determine if an injection is appropriate.

FAQs for Steroid Injections for Finger, Thumb, and Toe Pain Relief
1. What types of joint pain can be treated with steroid injections?
Our home-visit steroid injections are effective for various conditions, including pain at the base of the thumb (CMC joint), trigger finger, and pain in the base of the big toe (MTP joint). These injections can help reduce inflammation and restore mobility in these critical areas.
2. How do steroid injections work for joint pain relief?
Steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected joint, which helps to reduce swelling and alleviate pain. Many patients experience relief within days of the injection.
3. Who is a suitable candidate for home visit steroid injections?
Ideal candidates are those experiencing persistent pain in their thumb, fingers, or big toe, including individuals with trigger finger or limited mobility due to joint inflammation. If you have concerns about your suitability, a consultation can help clarify your options.
4. What should I expect during the injection procedure?
If you don’t have a prior diagnosis, Dr Ram will examine the joint to confirm suitability for an injection. The area is then cleaned, a local anaesthetic is applied, and the injection is administered quickly. Mild soreness may follow but usually fades within a few days.
5. How long does it take for the injections to work?
Most patients experience pain relief within 48 hours of the injection, with the full effect usually felt within a week. The relief can last from months to years, depending on individual circumstances.
6. Are there any side effects to be aware of?
Dr Ram will send you some important information before the injection with details of the benefits and risks (mostly minimal).
7. How many injections will I need?
The number of injections depends on your condition and its severity. Some people find relief with a single injection, while others may need additional treatments. Dr Ram will review your treatment plan with you during your consultation.
Typically, injections can be given every 3 months per joint. However, for the trigger finger or thumb, a follow-up injection can be done after 4–6 weeks if needed.
8. Can I continue my daily activities after the injection?
Yes, most patients can return to normal activities shortly after the injection. However, it’s best to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for a short period to allow the joint to recover. You may continue to drive as usual.
9. What are the costs associated with the steroid injection service?
he cost for a joint injection consultation at home is £200, while the diagnostic consultation at our Rodney Street location is £75. Additional fees may apply based on your location.
