Operation

I have now seen my GP who thinks the problem is most likely all CTS and didn't think another injection would help. I have been using the splints during the day and my chiropractor has been working on my arms, and did relieve some of the symptoms, but the numbness at night has got worse again waking me at least 4 times a night and taking a long time to get the feeling back in my fingers. Do you have any dates for operating in November please. Many thanks

injections vs surgery

hi Dr Bland
when i saw you in jan you suggested that i be put on list for operation for my cts alternatively do you think more injections would be of benefit as they seemed to have a good effect my right hand is getting worse now and feel i should probably do something about this splinting at night helps a little with the symptoms in the morning but my right wrist aches quite severely when riding my bike my left not so much

treatment update

Hi Jeremy
Since injections end of April, no major problems with either hand apart from slight numbness at night in both, but bearable.

Steroid injections appointment

Hello Dr Bland, I visited you some weeks ago with regard to my CPS. You gave me splints to wear and also gave me a letter informing me to arrange an appointment to receive steroid injections. I have just returned from holiday but being very stupid I have lost the telephone number to arrange the appointment. Sorry to be a pain in the butt but could you give me the telephone number again please.

Cheers, Phil

referral?

Hi I was diagnosed with CTS about 2yrs ago. I have recently been to Physio (self referred) about my hands and other joint problems. They have suggested I return to you for an update on the severity of my symptoms (conduction test?) as they would like confirmation that this is not part of my other joint problems. Do I need to go back to my GP or can I self refer to you? mackchhands

update of progress

Hi Dr bland
just to update you following my initial appointment in June this year. There has been a definite improvement since wearing the splints at night. Not waking up with the same degree of numbness. Occasional burning pain usually following lots of lifting or gardening. .
Many thanks

Update on injection

I'm really happy to report I have no symptoms whatsoever after just one injection. Dr Bland, just one question. If it comes back again do I have to go through my GP or can I come straight to you on this forum Thank you so much for your cheerful and successful treatment.

Update injections

I am writing on behalf of my mother who attended your clinic on the 22nd July 13. Since having the injections she has had excellent nights sleep and has not experienced any numbness night or day. The only symptom she has had is a slight tingling in the right wrist. She wishes me to thank you for your prompt treatment. One question I would have is if the symptoms get worse again can she contact you ( the clinic) or does she have to go back to her GP.
