For Canterbury patients
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

My injections
Hi Dr Bland, i saw you this morning and you wanted me to tell you when i have an appointment to have the injections, it will be next monday in Why, thank you for your help Lorraine Adams
Return of symptoms
I last had an injection last November, unfortunately the symptoms have returned, although not yet as severe as last autumn (but I would prefer it not to get to that stage!)
I have resumed using the night splint but with little effect.
I suspect/know I need another injection, but presume nerve induction studies first. If so Thursday mornings are best if possible. Thanks
I need an appointment with Dr Bland for left hand
hi Dr Bland need new appointment for my left hand to be done please its very painful my right hand is good now
Do I have CTS?
Thank you, Dr Bland, for seeing me at your clinic today. This is a very useful and informative website too. I have completed the questionnaire now which perhaps helps - my score is however low as you will see (<2). My question is - do you think I have CTS or is it something else?
Return of Symptoms
I had injections in both wrists last August and although the original injections lasted 4 years the symptoms have returned over the past month or so and now wake me at night with pins and needles as well as symptoms during the day
Regards
Return of symptoms after injection
Hello Dr Bland
I had very successful injections into both wrists in August 2011 and have been very happily symptom free until the last few weeks. I am now waking in the morning with the tingling and numbness again (both hands) and sometimes affected during the day if I am driving or gardening or similar.Tthe symptoms are not nearly as bad as before and bearable at the moment but I wondered if I should now be looking for some further treatment? Is it possible to have further injections or should I now be considering surgery? I look forward to hearing from you

Unable to get on with splints
I have been unable to get on with the splints, I find them too uncomfortable and incredibly hot. My symptoms have not changed.
