Update use of splint

Since my visit to Canterbury where I was given a splint for my left hand on the 22/03/2012. I have now been using this each night. It has not stopped the pain but has given some relief so I can get a couple of hours sleep.

Surgery

Mr bland
I had surgery on 25/02/2012. It all went well, scar a little longer than Right hand as the Dr explained,my nerve was trapped a little higher than my right hand ?
I am really in a lot of pain in the middle of my palm, the scar has healed really well, but it feels so painful, the only way to describe it , is it feels like the worst tooth ache ever in my hand ! It is a cramp like feeling that travels up my fingers and thumb. I have tried heat from a hot water bottle, and pain killers but it doesn't help, the pain is constant,and it is waking me up at night. Please can you help ?

Nightly numbness of hand & fingers

Dear Dr Bland

Hand Splint

Dear Dr Bland

I have had the hand splint for over two weeks now. I have noted some improvement but am still getting pain across my right wrist.. Next step/advice?.

More on symptoms

I completed the questionnaire yesterday with very low scores. My GP still wants me to have the test because of my history of symptoms: I have had repeated flare ups over the past 6-10 years. The worst was Sept 2011 - within 1 week of starting regular work on keyboard after several years of other work, my hands were greatly swollen, tingling in ring and little finger constantly for more than a week. Severe pain, unable to lift even moderately heavy objects, severly limited ability to work.

Hand no better after splinting

I can to see you on 1 march have been wearing the splint ever since and still no relief from the pain or numbness, can you pease recommend something else,sleeping is becoming a real problem. Thanks

Date of Injection

Dear Mr Bland,

The date of my first injection is on the 12/04/2012 at the Faversham clinic. I will keep you posted. The splint no results yet but only had it on last night. Again will keep you posted

Kind regards

Failed injection

Dear Mr Bland,
I have now had 2 injections and they have both only lasted 3/4 months. Really need to sort out what will be the next step please.
Many thanks,

Re; Hand splints

The splint you provided does seem to have made quite a difference and I would like for you to send the left hand one if possible.
Many thanks
