New assessment please
Hi Dr Bland
I had surgery on my left wrist back in January 2014, I'm glad to say it was a great success.
My right wrist is now playing up, waking me up most nights with pain and numbness from my upper arm down to my fingertips.
Do I need to go back to my GP to get a referral? or is it possible for you to arrange for an assessment.
Thanks for your time
thanks for the prompt reply, it certainly seems the same as before. It would be good to have it looked at again. No, I have not got a splint for my right hand.
Thanks
You can drop in to the department and collect a splint more or less anytime in working hours - or they can be picked up from amazon provided you know what you are looking for. That may provide some relief while waiting for us. I'll send out an appointment.JB
If it's recognisably the same problem in the right hand then I can just deal with it without bothering your GP. I'll send an appointment out and we will re-assess your nerve conduction studies and arrange some treatment. I think it will probably be about 4 weeks though (unless I can find a space created by a cancellation) - we lose a lot of clinics to holidays and bank holidays around this time of year). In the meantime, do you have a splint for the right hand? JB
