revisit

Went to Canterbury on 9th December for what I thought was just test, what a nice surprise when I was offered and given a second steroid injection there and then , so much better than waiting for further appointment and full credit to all staff involved for making it stress free, big thank you.
Didn't really feel anything to say wouldn't have that again, took about two day's before taking affect,and nighttime being the best,would be heaven if it could be done in neck.
Thank you again and merry Xmas and happy new year to Doctor Bland and his very professional team.

Need Advice for Mother

Please can you advise me - my mother saw you last year and following this had bilateral steroid injections locally. These helped with the pain which is now minimal. Recently, however, she has been experiencing paraesthesia in her fingers and loss of dexterity. I would appreciate your opinion as to the next course of action if possible bearing in mind that she is 92 and not very mobile.

Thank you - Chris Pryce (Mrs)

2nd steriod injection

Had 2nd steroid injection yesterday. I never felt the first one at all and the result were total loss of symptoms in 48hours. This injection whilst not painful felt as if there was pressure. My wrist, thumb and forearm is sore today like a mild sprain but this is probably a bit of bruising. Its not stopping me doing anything just aware of slight discomfort. Will update progress.

Symptons returned.

Dear Dr Bland, it's 18months since my last injection and the symptons have now fully returned in my right hand and to a lesser extent in my left. I'd be most grateful if you could arrange an appointment for me in the near future. Regards David

Received Steroid injections

I received steroid injections in both wrists yesterday afternoon. Had the best nights sleep last night for some time, I still have pain, but I know that it is early days as yet. I was very impressed with the efficiency and lack of red tape demonstrated by Dr. Bland's team. in providing speedy treatment and explaining the issues connected with CPS.

Returning symptoms in other hand

Dear Dr Bland

CTS just starting to come back

Hello, I cant remember when I had my 2nd injection in my right wrist? I think it may have been June 2014? My symptons have just started to come back again. They are not unbearable yet so I have started to wear my splint again & will keep you posted if it get worse which I am expecting over the next week or two, fingers crossed it doesn't. Just wanted you to confirm when I had my last injection done please?
Thanks
E Hale

Returning CT

Hi... My CT has returned a year after y last steroid injection... How can I book in for another injection?

Left Hand Problems Have Returned.

Good Afternoon,
I had the steroid injection in both wrists at the end of February this year. The pain and discomfort I had experienced for a long time had gone by the time I got home. I have been symptom and pain free in both hands up until 2 weeks ago. I am pleased to say that my dominant right hand is fine but my left has deteriorated quickly. I am waking up in the night with the pain and associated numbness along with pins and needles. Driving to work is also causing a concern as I have to drop my left arm down by my side as far as I can to relieve the symptoms.

Return Pain after Injection

Hi Had a steroid Injection in Dec 2013, unfortunately after 5 months pain started to return and is now back to what it was and somewhat worse, is it possible to have another injection please, Thankyou Bill [ demoman ]
