i need an appointment with Mr Bland

hi what's the best way of getting an appointment, i had a steroid injection about last july it has slowly stopped working and i think need to get some thing done again

Splints

I attended your clinic at the end of february and was given some splints to try and help with my carpal tunnel symptoms. This initially improved things.

Injection for Carpal Tunnel

I had the injection on Saturday for Carpal tunnel in my left wrist. My fingers swelled up and I noticed that my hand changed colour slightly. It is now Wednesday and I still have pain in my wrist, hand and running up my arm to my shoulder. Is this normal? The swelling has now gone.

Thank you and look forward to seeing you on 28th

Appologies for contacting sooner

Hi
This is just a quick update on the steroid injection I had in my left wrist, since having it done the symptoms have eased slightly and have stayed that way up until now when they are reoccurring!
However please may I have the right wrist steroid injected, to see if it also eases the pain etc, and to discuss the options again
many thanks
