Past couple of months his right hand has been getting numb when he was using elliptical. Was able to stop, shake it out and resolve it.

Next night it occurred again and was so painful, it made him sick to stomach.  Pain radiated to elbow and caused his hand to "seize up". He couldn't move it or grip. Was swollen.   Was so bad it made him sick from 3-7am  He tried ice on elbow and wrist.  Swelling gradually went down a little  He went to walk in about 10am  but it was some better by then.   He was given toradol injection as well as 50mg prednisone x 5 days.  He is on day 4 of that.  Now pain is essentially gone. Has not occurred again.
