Update since we last met

left hand still fine, no symptoms as yet but I am not confident it won't come back with a vengeance! Will keep you informed.

Injection failure

Hi

I had the injections done on 29th and unfortunately i have not felt much difference. It was slightly better for 1-2 days after but now back to "normal". I guess operation is the way forward. Can you tell me what i should do next? Do i go back to GP and request another appointment with you?

Deferring surgery

Sorry to contact you here, I will leave a phone message too.
Unfortunately I missed my initial consultation appointment with at herne bay (today), but got a call as a result - the outcome would have been the same, though and he asked me to get in touch with you: My symptoms have subsided a lot and so I would like to be referred for steroid injection if appropriate, leaving surgery for another day possibly...
I would be grateful for your referral or advice
thanks
Peter May

Surgery appointment

Hi Dr Bland,

check up for Tina Peattie

I had carpel tunnel surgery, on my right hand at Beltinge in october.2011
Is there a follow up test to be done ? also will I be automatically be put on the waiting list for my left hand ? If so would it be possible to have it done at Beltinge as I was really happy with the care that I recieved there.

Tunnel injection by Dr Birch

Have had the injection just before Xmas, and am pleased to let you know that wrist is already 50% better than it was before, I am very pleased, many thanks.

After surgery

I am very please with the results of my surgery on my hand it is healing well, the operation took place at the QMQE hospital in Margate under Doctor Smith, his team were great and looked after me very well. I followed their instructions for after op care and you must take care to follow there instructions as the healing process is helped by using creams to keep the wound supple. I used E45 and Aqueous creams they are the best, I did use Bio oil but found that it dried the wound to much the key is to keep it moist and these creams do just that.

I couldn't make an appointment with a GP before Thursday. Could you book me in on Thursday with the person who does CTS steroid injection?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
