After injection

Had the injection 30/04/12 in Folkestone. I am in quite alot of pain in my left hand, numb and tingling even after 5 days, have been off work since injections. Finding it hard to do anything! Constantly in pain and uncomfortable. How long after injection should I be feeling like this?

Scan

I haven't heard about the scan for my neck yet and as you said it is urgent, am concerned. Is there anything I should do?

Thanks again.

Painful reaction to injection

Hi When I had my injections I had a reaction that apparently never happens I got like electric shocks up my thumb and index finger the other 3 weren't affected. I'm still getting these shooting pains and don't know if i need to go back to Dr Bland or the dr who did the injections. I was told to post question on here. Many thanks Zara

left hand down a bit

Dear Dr Bland

Left hand showing return of symptoms ie tingling in the day and waking me up at night. Right hand is fine still since injections last summer - 22nd August. Please advise.

All the best

worsening symptoms

Thank you - I have just received my appointment date for 15 May for further tests following return of symptoms after injections in August. My symptoms seem to be getting worse quite quickly and this is worrying me and getting me down. I know the appointment is only a couple of weeks away but if there are any earlier cancellations perhaps you could let me know? Many thanks Lindsay

Follow up to Friday tests

Thanks for seeing me today, with Prof Mills. I look forward to hearing about the scan - my neck was quite painful after the tests. Will the results of the tests be available to the neurologist to whom I will be referred? I don't want to go through a third set of these tests if it is avoidable as I hope you will appreciate!

I am convinced there is some wasting in my right leg.

Regards

Adrian

INR result 2.9 as at 27 April 2012

Can I have an injection with this reading ASAP please
Otherwise the nurse says the medication can be adjusted but I need to let her know after 4 o'clock this afternoon

Novice - second injection

4 months after second injection I re-experienced problems. Gradually worsened. Now wearing splint at nights - but even so symptoms sometimes occur during night. Not really worried at the moment, but might need intervention eventually.

My Injection

Dear Dr Bland
I have tried to book an appointment through the usual channel but there is nothing available in my area in the near future.
I would be grateful if I could come along to Canterbury on a Thursday and have the treatment there.
Kind regards
