Update 48 hours following cortisone injection

Hi Dr B. As suggested am now using this as means of communication rather than email direct to you. Following injection that relieved the excrutiating pain in my left hand that I had for a week, this is 48hour update as you requested. Have no pain - thank goodness. Have a tingling sensation on top of index and ring finger, also in my palm and right hand side of index finger and left hand side of ring finger. Furthermore, it feels like a burning sensation when I touch these areas.

cts & polymyalgia rheumatica

I am taking prednisolone(reducing dose) as treatment for recently diagnosed PMR.I had an injection(wye surgery Dr Fox ?) for this wrist which didn,t last very long( previously had op on left wrist which had been much worse -was very pleased with result).I resolved to ask for op for r.h if things got worse having read somewhere "best not to ignore it"Almost immediately back to normal with steroids except for R.h.

first use of splints

Having received diagnosis for CTS and now using splints at night I have definately felt an improvement in the comfort they provide to help get a good nights sleep! However I still have all the same symptons as before when they are off in the day ie numbness in the left 3 fingers and tingling/numbness in both. Also pain down the inside of the thumbs. I intend to book up steroid injection this week.

Post-Injection Success

Hi Dr. Bland,

I had my injection in my left wrist 04/10/2012 with Mr Michael Nicholas at your Canterbury clinic.

Firstly may I get you to thank Mr Nicholas as I found him to be very reassuring, pleasant, informative and easy to talk to.

I scored the pain 1/10 at the time of the injection. A few minor "electric shocks" after the treatment for about a week.
Since then I have been comfortable and my symptoms have all but resolved.

return of symptoms in left hand

Hello Dr Bland

The symtoms are returning in my left hand. I've been ignoring them for a few weeks, but it's gradually getting worse and is now disturbing my sleep every night. I think it's probably a year since the last injection in that hand, can I arrange to come in for a repeat injection please.
