Good morning,

At my last appointment it was recommended that I should have the operation in both wrist. I asked at the time if I could have the steroids instead. Unfortunately the steroids have worn off already and my carpel tunnel has come back in both hands.

Could I please be put forward for the operation please.

Thank you
Amanda

Right Post surgery 1 month & Left 7 weeks injection

The injection has helped my left hand although a few twinges in thumb but I think that is from overuse as inability to use right hand.

Symptoms questionnaire-reference number

Hello Dr Bland,
I have filled out the symptoms questionnaire. The reference number is 230810

Appointment please

Hi Doctor Bland

Afraid my symptoms have returned in my right hand quite bad all of a sudden. Very annoying as I planned to have release surgery August summer holidays just gone but after my last steriod injection symptoms had disappeared.

Could I please have an appointment for the week beginning 23 October, during half term, if at all possible?

Many thanks

Dawn

Request for appointment. Returning symptoms

Symptoms persisting and deteriorating hand function including "trigger" thumb and arthritic pain. New evaluation suggested by consultant Mr Jeremy Stanton.

Returning symptons

Hi Dr Bland

I've just recorded another severity score and was hoping you could send me an appointment through the post as my symptom's have returned over the last couple of months. Many thanks!

Reoccurring Pain & Numbness

Dear Dr Bland, After having two steroid injections, which work brilliantly, my last being in Sept 2022, pain and numbness have come back with a vengeance in the past three weeks, could I please be considered for another injection. I have sent you an e-mail for a more information. Yours in anticipation. Barbara

Returning Symtoms - already

Hello, I’ve got returning symptoms in my left wrist again.

Would it be possible to bo an appointment?

Many thanks

New severity score

Hi Dr Bland,

I had a steroid injection 9 months ago which really helped the severity of my symptoms.
Unfortunately the symptoms are now back and I am finding work difficult as a result.
I have updated my severity score and wondered what the next course of action is?
Helen

New severity score updated

Hands
I’ve just updated my severity score as requested by my Gp as I now have pins and needles, tingling in my hand. I have had surgery on my elbow and a capsular release. So maybe there is a trapped nerve.
I await your correspondancr
Thank you
