Feedback on my injection

Had injection on the 4th July sorry to say the injection has made no improvement.

Recurrence of symptoms

My symptoms have returned in my right hand and in about 2 weeks have gone from nothing to irritating to almost intolerable! Is it possible to arrange an appointment for an injection please? Thank you.

Message for Dr Bland

I last had an injection about a year and half ago which was my 7th one. Am now a Nana and picked up my grandson and ouch not a good idea. I feel it may now be time for considering an operation. But I do need an appointment with Dr Bland first for retesting. Have rang around and also found your web site, and it was suggested to me might be a better way of getting an appointment with you.

Replacement hand splints

Please can you let me know how I go about getting replacement splints for my hands

They seem to be working 98%of the time and I am happy to continue with them but they are getting a bit tatty.

Symptoms back

Dear Dr Bland

I had my first injection in both hands on 28th January. My pins and needles/the numbness in my hands came gradually back at night. These symptoms are now preventing me from sleeping properly. I'm starting to have a bit of these symptoms during the day too.I also feel pain in my right wrist. Could this be related to CTS? I feel it's time to arrange an appointment for a second injection. I just hope this one will work for longer.

Injection Pain

Hi there

In the Family

Hi Jeremy

Thank you for your time on Monday. I will wear the splints for a few weeks and hope it goes away! It has got mildly worse this week though.

Also I found out that my Older rother had both his hands operated on a few years back for CTS and my younger sister suffers from it mildly and has a special keyboard! Maybe they have 2 nerves going through the tunnel as well!

I'll let you know how I get on next week and if there is any change in pain !

Best wishes

Nigel
