Re: Appointment last Monday

Hello Dr Bland.
Thank you for seeing me on Monday. I have been thinking about what you said and have decided to continue using the splint you supplied for about a month and see how I get on. If there is no improvement can I still have an injection as you advised me.
If I decide to have the injection how do I arrange it ?
Kind regards
Driscelia Skinner

Very painful hand

Over the past few weeks I have noticed that after using my hands especially right, to do gardening cleaning etc, they have become extremely painful at night. The pain is across my knuckles and my fingers from knuckles to tips go numb this can take an hour to recover. I have tried using splints again which have offered some relief. I am now concerned after reading the forum, if I wait until the autumn for an operation I may be doing more damage and the operation may not be so successful. Can you advise please

Had the injection on Tuesday. The dull ache to the elbow has gone and I can clench my fist very easily now, but the maddening 'itch' in my finger tips is still there. Am still wearing the splint at night and feel that its helping. Very pleased so far hope the injection continues to work.

Steroid injection

Hi,

I had the steroid injection in my wrists about (roughly) 6months ago and it's been brilliant! It has recently started to 'wear off' and I think I would benefit from another injection? How do I go about booking one? Thanks in advance

injection up date

had injection has made no difference so far thumb has become more pain full pins and needles still present in hand

pleasant and very helpful

i would just like to say how helpful the doc and nurses over there are,they are friendly and the consultant j.b. who runs this site was so nice a explained all to me,the injections was bearable nothing to worry about and even the doctor whom gave the injection was most helpful and nice,as hospitals go we dont like visiting them but the staff at canterbury were all lovely x .

Re-curring Symptoms

Hi Dr Bland
My DR has asked me to contact you as my symptoms have returned. I have also been experiencing wrist pain mainly in my left hand and have less flexibility. I am hoping you can help or refer me in the right direction. I had a steroid injection last summer in each wrist which helped for a short period of time (a few weeks). Gradually the numbness and pins and needles have returned and worsened to the point of waking me up.
Many thanks.

Update following injections

Hello, Dr Bland.
Just a post to follow up Injections on both wrists on Thurs, 13th June.
Both wrists feel a lot better, and over the weekend I had a better sleep pattern. But this week there is still minor pins and needles/pain in both wrists when resting and driving. When working it seems a lot better. Maybe some more treatment required? Many Thanks for everything, Kevin.
