New self referral

Hi I've done the self referral online as advised by my gp. I filled out the questionnaire and emailed results then sent a separate email as requested with my contact details.tjis was on June 30th and I haven't heard anything. I did just resend it a few moments ago. My name is Samantha-Jane Flanagan. If somebody could let me know if I'll be given an appointment that would be great. I can't do Tuesdays or weekends. Thanks.

Need help with medical terminology

Hi, I have been struggling with CTS for about 2 years or so, I have numbness in my right hand and wake up in pain if I don't sleep in braces at night. I also have shooting pain when typing or paining or doing anything that involves fine motor movement, usually the pain is worse when I rest it. I am a barista, so I do a lot of reparative movement.

Need to book an Appointment for Electromyography

Dear Doc,

My GP has suggested that I might have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
I have been informed that a similar reference letter has been mailed to you as well from My GP (Sturry Surgery) to perform some tests on my nerves and muscles (electromyography).

Kindly let me know how to go ahead with this and also, assign a date for the test as well.

Thanks

GP sent me here for CTS after A and E diagnose same.

I have been sent here for problems with my right wrist that are getting worse quite quickly.

It started about 8 weeks ago, maybe more of lesser symptoms, but has now moved to almost constant pain and aches around wrist, thumb, index and middle finger and base of hand. I get quite a lot of periods where numbness causes issues with waking me up as well as weird tingling feelings.

I struggle with normal daily things like getting dressed, opening bottles etc, and these things seem to be getting worse.

Pain Years After CTS

Several years after my CTS on my right hand which totally eliminated my numbness and tingling I have been dealing with pain that started happening sporadically in the top of my wrist and occasionally losing the strength to either grab or hold on to things. It has now progressed to an every day thing (going on 3 weeks now) with my pain level sky rocketing to a 10+ Most of the day. There is pain that radiates up to my shoulder when it gets really bad and my wrist aches like a tooth ache too.

CTR surgery 11 days ago

Hello,

Had mild carpal tunnel for 10 years considering surgery

Hello

I live in north west Kent hope that’s permitted :-)

I’m a 52 year old graphic artist who first started getting pins and needles in right hand (mouse hand)
Whilst living abroad. I blame poor desk and chair arrangement. Anyway came back to the uk
And it continued, spent lots of money on various things chairs, wrist supports, types of mouse,etc
Nothing really worked until I switch permanently to a pen tablet to work. That solved the issue.
Did get occasion flare ups and then I was having shoulder and neck pain. Had an EMG which showed mild carpal

Pain wakes me up

Been having pain in the wrist, thumb and fingers, its been waking me several times during the night. Have to shake my hand to ease the pain. My consultant has given me a splint to try and help. Any ideas would be very much apprieciated

Regards

slight confusion.

My GP told me to come on here to request nerve help/ a specialist. But didn't really explain what to do. He believes I have CTS or Ulnar nerve entrapment or both. unfortunately getting through to my GP has been the bane of my existence, and so the online questionnaire I have done is not really helpful. As I've been attempting to get through to my GP everyday, and its taken 8 weeks to get a face to face appointment. I'd just like to know where to go from here for a referral for nerve testing. Thank you.

Strange carpal tunnel symptoms

So I have posted here before. I have been experiencing mild carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms for a few years now. I also went through a bout of some cubital tunnel syndrome which seemed to subside after a few Months. The carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms still do linger but it has not gotten worse and I have not had any numbness in my hands with sleeping. The only thing I have been doing to treat it as wearing a brace sometimes, but not all the time. And I take fish oil‘s which I’m not sure if that does anything but I read a few promising things.
