Yes. Corticosteroid shots are a very temporary bandaid.
Even worse, they're not even a good band aid. Bandaids protect you while you heal.
Corticosteroids, aside from their other side effects and potential dangers, take the pain away but do not positively affect the structural dynamic, and certainly not the activity patterns that got you the tenosynovitis in the first place.
So you can continue to injure yourself even though you aren't feeling the pain you normally would be feeling...which is the body's way of getting you to stop hurting yourself.
Yes, you could 'wear out' other parts of your hands and fingers. Corticosteroid injections will not prevent that.
Same thing with corticosteroid creams and ointments, even if they decrease your pain.
Do not take Oral Corticosteroids for tendonitis/tenosynovitis.

Most likely no. If it is in pain you might want to see a doctor. If not the swelling is normal in patients with tenosynovitis, I mean that's what the name means for goodness sake!
