For Canterbury patients
Attend clinic app?
Was referred by the doctor to the clinic, but i completed questionaire and scored 1.8. Do i still need to attend clinic with such a low score. Don't want to be a time waster!
Pregnant with carpal tunnel
Hello
I've been to Canterbury twice before during my last pregnancy and following it. I have had steroid injections at a clinic in Faversham which have resulted in my symptoms disappearing. I am pregnant with my second child and the symptoms have returned quite severely in my right hand (and did from an early point in the pregnancy). I'm wearing a splint at night which is helping me to sleep better but it does seem to be getting worse. I'd like another steroid injection as soon as possible if I can. I am 23 weeks pregnant. Help!
Operation
Good morning
I should like to go ahead with the operation on my right wrist as soon as possible.
How soon after this operation can you correct the left wrist?.
Will I be able to drive within a week of the surgery?.
Regards Tony Biddle
post operative trigger thumb
i was asked by mr Bland to complete online questionaire. but im struggling to do this, because the carpel-tunnel problems have basically gone. its post operative problems that im suffering with.
Operation
Hello Dr Bland
After thinkinhg about my situation as you advised, I have decided that I would like to go for having the operation.Could you tell me how long I should expect to wait?
Thanks very much.
Postpone operation date?
Hello Dr Bland, I called to move back the date of my operation, but was advised to contact you first. It is currently fixed for 17 September, with Dr Rine, but there are a few logistical problems with being "offline" in late September, and having looked at the diary I would if possible prefer to put it back till November. If I could have the pre-operative visit on 22 October, then the operation on 05 November, that would be much more convenient.
I also tried to book an injection, but they are calling me back in a few days, because the computer was being unco-operative.
Kind regards
Steriod injection while waiting for surgery
Hello Dr Bland
follow-up steroid injection appointment
Dear Dr Bland, I left you an answer phone message today, but the receptionist informed me that this is a far better way of communicating. I was assessed by yourself in September 2010 by nerve conduction test and the result came out I believe as 1 for my left wrist, and 0.5 for the right. I was given a steroid injection into my left wrist by Dr Vernon Brown at the Estuary View Medical Centre in November 2010. The symptoms almost totally disappeared and it helped by left arm as well for 6 months.
Test results
Hi
I have had nerve conduction tests done, and have been referred for a steroid injection, but have not been told what my test results actually were. There is space in My CTS to input them for my records. Will the specifics of the results be sent to me?
