Worsening but is it all related to CTS?

Good Afternoon. A year on and post injection of quite some time ago, I am still suffering the twanging sensation in my right hand particularly if rotating my hand I.e. cooking, brushing my teeth, styling etc. My hand, wrist and arm ache/hurt, sometimes and increasingly, enough to take co-codamol. For some time now, my elbow has been affected and I am finding it painful to straighten my arm, reach for something and experience pain when picking up the smallest thing. The pain is on the inside of my arm also. I still have problems with my left hand and wrist but my right is the most concerning. Your advice would be very much appreciated. Kind regards.

it does sound as though there may be a bit more to that than just CTS.Can you add a new severity score to the website please (While logged in click "My CTS" then "My CTS record" then "Take a new severity score test") and I think we will then get you tested again to see if anything has changed. JB

Hi, I have done a new CTS score because it is just getting so much worse just. within the days since took it so I’m going to do another so it’s more accurate of a reading whilst it’s actually ‘flaring’ up’. I am at a point that co-codamol isn’t touching it. I do though still wonder if this is something else causing this at the moment because the leap in just 5 days and how it’s affecting and includes my whole arms seems too fast somehow.

Those scores do seem to be worse than ever. I'll get you added to the list to be seen. JB

Hello, I don’t know who to go to to ask about waiting times but is the list for appointments quite a long wait at the moment please. Kind regards.

I've got you on the list and we should get to you before the end of October. We do have a bit of a COVID backlog. JB
