can barely use my hands but the electrical tests gave normal reading

Hi, I've been suffering since Feb 2011 and had the tests in July 2011 - gave readings of level 2 CTS, even though I was constantly numb and in pain. I had steroid injections in both hands which relieved it for a short while, I would say about a month. I hadn't gone the normal CTS route, as the GP had thought it was arthritis. After having the injections the consultant simply said that if the pain came back (I had told him it never really went away) go back to my GP and start again.

feedback after 6 months

Goodevening Dott. Bland,

I am Valentina Viscardi and 6 months ago I had the injection done. After 1 month I was not completely through the problem but at the time I had not the initial sintoms.

Currently I am still having some difficulties: my wrists are not flexible (sometimes are like made of wood), after some efforts they are tight and doing some moviment a slightely painfull, many times in the morning I had numbness doing some actions.

Waiting for your feed back

thanks and regards

Hand brace

Been wearing hand brace for last few weeks have had no pain or tingling so would it be best if I keep wearing it

Arm pain

HI there
I have had surgery recently for CTS on my right hand and I am on the waiting list for the left hand. It was complete success considering I have a prolapsed disc in my neck (C6-C7) we were unsure how surgery would go but it was fantastic.

Forgot to add

Tingly feeling confined to bottom half of hand, not fingers.

Wrist splints

Hi I had a consultation and having injections at the end of the month.
I was being referred for wrist splints as the ones you had didn't go round my forearm sufficiently and I've not heard anything since so I currently do not have any supports. Can you advise please

update following injection

Hi Doctor
sorry I have taken so long to post this.
Following my injection on 14 June, ( I was doing the London to Brighton Bike ride on Sunday 17 June)
My Left hand is much better, I managed the ride with very little bad sensations in my hand, I can't say the same about my legs.
I'm still getting some pins and needles but nothing like before, it hasn't woken me at night since I had the jab. I now have a couple of weeks off so hopefully my hands will be able to settle down and continue to improve.
Thanks for getting me the jab so quickly it was a great help.
Phil
