Wearing wrist braces at night.

To Dr Jeremy Bland. Hi I have worn the wrist brace's on both hands now for 6weeks at night time. I must admit the last couple of weeks have been dreadful. The pains in both hands has increased and in my right hand is becoming more painful including my fingers becoming rigid and painful. I have been removing the wrist braces in the early hours of the mornings due to being uncomfortable and in severe pain I have continued loss of grip in both hands [ more so the right hand] I am experiencing continued throbbing and ache's in fingers.

Positive outcome

I had suffered for some time with burning and tingling in both hands. However not until I could no longer do up shirt buttons or pick up small items did I decide to do something about it. I had short term relief with injections on three occasions . I then had surgery on my left hand in April 2021 and my right hand in September 2022. I now never have tingling or burning sensation waking me at night and feeling in my index and thumb has returned enough to allow me to carry out tasks that require the necessary sensation.

Appointment Please

Te occurring CTS

Good morning
It's that time of year again where my CTS returns. As in previous years I've completed the questionare and would be grateful if I could have an appointment for a steroid injection, to relieve the symptoms please. My day off is a Wednesday so if an appointment for then is available that would be amazing. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you in due course. If an email could be sent that would be great as this site doesn't always work for me, thank you again.

Flare up

Hi, I last came to the clinic in November 2021 and have had no recurring problems till about 6weeks ago. Mainly pain in both wrists and thumb joints, although occasional sharp pain in my middle finger left hand, but this has now increased to struggling to use cutlery, holding a pen and dressing. I have been using splints at night for last 2 weeks as had started to get some mild pins and needles but it has helped a little with the pain waking me up. Think I may need to come and see you again.
