Return of symptoms following second injection

Dear Dr. Bland, Just to remind, I had a wrist operation in 1983 on the left hand, a year after the birth of my third child, and so far it has remained symptom free. I find my symptoms have returned since the second injection in my right hand in September. After the injection, although there was almost instant relief from the pain, there was intermittent numbness for about 10 days, after which things settled. Occasionally I would get numbness from e.g. holding up my arm (yoga!), and something like knitting but, mostly I was clear ish for about a month or so.

Just had operation

Hi I have had the operation this morning and my fingers are all completely numb, is this normal?

Pain in arm

Dr bland I'm not sure if you can help me ? I had a carpel tunnel op.in feb 2012. My hand took a long time to heal as it remained swollen and painful for longer than expected. You asked me to attend your clinic to assess the problem, you scanned it and suggested letting it settle as it was still early days, although it took longer than usual eventually it did return to size.

Hi Was seen a year ago, when mild carpal tunnel was diagnosed after wearing a splint on rhand at night for a while the symptoms disappeared, unfortunately they have now reappeared in both hands - tingling, pins and needles.in the middle fingers. My Raynaud's is also not good at the moment. Wondered if I could be booked in to have steroid injections?

symptoms getting worse

hi Dr. Blande

Numbness returns after injections

I had injections in both wrists about 3 months ago and now the numbness has returned. As I have been told that this condition can permanently damage the nerves, do I need to go to my GP again to arrange a visit to the Canterbury clinic to see Dr. Bland?

pre-op 17/11

Owing to another patient cancelling,pre-op for saturday became pre-op and surgery.Quite a surprise!!!! All seemed to go well,my thanks to Dr.Rine and colleagues and to yourself.Will let you know any developments.K

Injection follow up

Nearly 2 weeks post injections, the right hand feels normal, the left has occassional slight pins and needle in thumb and finger tips, but a vast improvement on before. I did have a slight bruise on the left wrist for a week so maybe it will need a bit longer to improve.

return of Carpel tunnel after injection

Hi . Had Carpel tunnel steroid injections on 30/07/12. Worked only for a couple of months. Symptoms seem worse now than before. Wearing wrist splints in bed but still keeping me awake. Would like the possibility of surgery.thanks Debbie

Goodmorning, sorry to bother you again.....

The fingertips and side of fingers that are numb and the palms of my hands get very itchy sometimes, I read this is another symptom I just wanted your input?

Thank you very much
