Surgery date margate

Mum has received several phone calls from margate re surgery but the phone number is just a message service . She was given the name Adam but has subsequently been referred back to you. She has decided that she would like the surgery now. Can you please advise where that leaves us ?

thank you

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.

First Appointment 3/4 weeks away

I visited my GP on the 5th October after 2 weeks of waking with numbness 2/3 times a night in my thumb and next two fingers. I have tried dangling my arm out of the bed but I still wake 2/3 times a night. Is there anything else I could try to get a reasonable nights sleep.

Continuing symptoms

Dear Dr Bland, I had nerve conduction studies and saw you back in April this year. You gave me splints to use at night. They helped a bit but I am still having symptoms and I have to wear the splints every night still otherwise I wake up with numbness in my right hand. Sometimes I have it even with the splint. I have constant tingling and itching in my palms and using the computer and holding the telephone is quite uncomfortable. Is it worth considering the injections?

Advice re wrist splint use during the day

Hello Dr Bland. I have been referred for tests on 1 November by my GP. My symptoms are worse during the day when I am using my hand although the tingling sensation is pretty much constant with varying degrees of intensity.

Inevitable surgery...

Hello Dr Bland. I had another injection on Monday and although initially I thought it had worked, was woken up throughout last night with arm pain and numbness, so I am fast considering the surgery on my left hand. Could you tell me what I have to do to instigate this and what the waiting list is like for surgery?

Also, we spoke about something to 'take the edge off' in advance of the surgery as last time I found the local anaesthetic pretty vile. Everything else seemed ok but that is one of the things I am most worried about. Is there something you could recommend? Regards
