Dr Bland
I had my CTS operation on the 29th July 2021.
I had a telephone therapy appointment on the 7th September. I Was told I would have another in about 4 weeks but have heard nothing more.
I no longer have any pain in my hand, which is good ! My middle finger has a almost constant pins and needles/stinging nettle tingling sensation. My index finger and ring finger are affected sometimes.
I understand full recovery can take some time but was hoping for a better outcome by this time, can you help ?

That looks as though it's going in the right direction so I suspect that this is just being slow to recover. I think it would be a good idea to check it with an objective measure - ie repeat the nerve tests - so I'll send out a new appointment. JB
Grade 4 can be a little slow to improve, especially for sensory symptoms but there should be some progress after 3 months. I think the first thing to do is find out what has happened to surgical follow up and I'll raise that with the surgeons. I think we might then end up testing you again to make sure that nerve is showing some measurable improvement. Could you do me a favour and add a new symptom score here onthe website - go to the home page and click the orange button that says "Add a new severity score" - which you will only see while you are logged in to the site JB
