Dr Lee took plenty of time with me and was very thorough. I was able to ask many questions and did not feel rushed at all.

Did not explain that steroid shots should only be taken a few times in your life. Did not tell me much about what level pain to expect or what to do at home, such as trying to move the muscles to get the injection to work best. Didn't have a plan for if the injection didn't help

Once the initial question regarding nerve damages seemed to not be the case, he was not interested in discussing my actual problem of acute pain in my wrist/hands. He stated that it wasn't due to nerve damage and just ended it at that whenever I asked what could be causing it or what could I do about it. He then stated he would write me a prescription for pain in case it got bad, but never sent in the prescription. Overall I thought he did a good job about addressing potential nerve damage, but was completely dismissive about everything else. I left feeling frustrated, dismissed, and even more confused about what could be causing the pain. I am still suffering pain in my wrists and hands and at this point I don't know why nor do I have any medication to take for it. I do have a wrist brace now, but since I don't know what is causing the pain I never know when I should wear it.
