Splinting
I have used the splint for jusy over 4 weeks. I find my wrist a lot better at night and less painful still during the day. Should I use it for a bit longer?
Thank you for your reply, have updated the questionaire the result seems little different from the last one. Perhaps I should mention that I take pain tablets for Arthritis (Parecetamol 500mg) usually 4 a day.
Just a slight improvement by the look of it. I doubt if paracetamol is making much difference to it overall. If you think it is still a nuisance we should arrange for a local steroid injection for that left hand. JB
Thanks for your reply. I think I would like to go for the injection please, so could you please set this up for me. I must say I think this on line set up is wonderful, saves every one a lot of time.

It depends just how much better the symptoms are. Is 'less painful during the day" enough of an improvment that treatment can be onsidered a succes so far?.... or is it still enough of a nuisance that it needs something else doing about it. If the latter then I would probably arrange a local steroid injection at this point. If you complete the questionnaire on here again we can take a look at how your subjective scores have changed since I saw you. JB
