Improvement after using splints

My symptoms have virtually disappeared after using the splints, I am sleeping through the night with no tingling in the mornings have not worn the splints for the past four nights, there is a slight tingling when I am on the computer or when I am using my hands but this is not causing any real pain.

I have an appointment on the 16th November for steroid injection should I cancel this.

Thank you

Splint worked second time round, op not needed

After coming for the consultation in July, I decided to re-try the splint that you asked about but had not seemed to work when I tried it before. I had changed my mouse to a thumb ball type one in the meantime. I put the hand in the splint on a pillow to the side, and this time it seems to have been really sucessful. Perhaps it was the combination of mouse change and splint.
As a result of the improvement I did not have the injection and now presume I should cancel the operation. Can I do that via this message?

After four weeks of using splints...

I have been wearing the splints at night now for four weeks. Finally I have known the joy of uninterrupted sleep! However, although I am no longer being woken up during the night by any numbness, when I wake up normaly in the morning, the tingling and numbness starts (even with the splints on, in both hands) and continues for about ten minutes or so after I take the splints off.

Should I continue with the splints for a bit longer?

Many thanks.

Visit to Canterbury

Hello Dr. Bland Thank you for seeing me at Canterbury to-day and for the tests and scan. I will try the splints and hope to get some improvement over the next few weeks. I will give an update later. Pat

CTS Injection on 2 August 2011 ... Further Update

Hello Dr Bland,

Since my last update, I have been experiencing sporadic returns of CTS symptoms. These have been relatively minor and only occasional. I wonder if you could enlighten me as to the advisability and potential benefit of having another injection. If indeed you do recommend another injection, what would be the appropriate timescale? As a matter of fact, I do have a follow-up appointment with Dr Biggs on the 4th October. Would this be a suitable time for another injection?

Kind regards.

I have tried the splints you gav me on the 26 July for amonth. I am afraid I do not feel any better- I think my hands are slightly worse than when I visited you one month ago. I am asking if I can be considered for injections as the next option you suggested. Can this procedure be done locally ie in the Canterbury area?. LC Taylor
