Advice re worsening symptoms
Previous treatment on my right hand has been great although I still have some mild issues. However my left hand is now becoming worse. I have constant pain in both hands and wrists which may be due to arthritis I know, but would this also account for the numbness in my fingers on the left hand? It's getting quite difficult to perform every day tasks now and I wonder if both hands - but especially the left hand - would benefit from more steroid injections? And if this is the case, given the length of time since last seen by you, do I have to get my GP to re-refer me?
Worsening symptoms
Having had successful surgery on my right hand some years ago, and a good result from injections on my left, symptoms are continuing to worsen in my left hand. Please can I have an assessment with a view to treatment on my left hand. Thankyou.
positive injection revue
After suffering badly for a long time, sometimes getting only 2-3 hours sleep at night, being woken with severe carpal tunnel pain, I contacted Dr Bland. I was given injections into both wrists, and advised that relief could be expected within about 10 days and that relief, dependant on the patient, might last a week, a month, a year, or even 10 years. I have had no pain or other symptoms from the moment that I walked out of Dr Blands surgery, and that was about 6 weeks ago. Blessed relief, and I am so grateful.
Opposite hand
Hi. I have had the operation on my left hand, which has been a very good result. I think my right hand has decided it wants to have a go..... the tingling and numbness has gradually increased, but for the last 4 months the pain, numbness and tingling has increased. I have done an update cts questionnaire, as i thought it would make sense to do that to.
I look forward to hearing from you
New Patient

Completed symptom questionnaire
I was referred by my GP and Have been referred to get EMG and NCS test for possible carpel tunnel done. I actually got the referral letter on 23th of may but being socially anxious slowed me down, along with the sick time i got from work making me hope "it'll go away" Back then i did the survey without making an account with a 23% chance of CTS... but since it got better because i was not working.
Questionnaire Query
Good evening, I have this evening complete the questionnaire and received back a low score 7% likelihood of CTS. However I wanted to advise that in the current climate of struggling to see a GP, I have consulted a Pharmacist on 2 occasions when I have a flare up both have mentioned possible Carpal tunnel, I also visited the walk in centre more than 6 months ago again for a similar issue who provided a splint and suggested Carpal Tunnel due to the location of the pain.

appointment requested
Hi, in August 2021 my doctor suggested I refer myself for tests for carpal tunnel syndrome, so I completed a diagnostic questionnaire. He also recommended wearing wrist supports at night, which did stop the pain and tingling, however these symptoms have returned I have never had an appointment for EMG and NCS and would like to request one, please.
