Hi Dr Bland,
Managed to update my CTS on here.
Was wondering if I could be placed on your appointment waiting list and sent a letter home to be seen in clinic. Although my score doesn't seem bad, I have more and more issues with certain movements like washing my hair and driving due to numbness in left hand fingers again (except pinkie). Wouldn't like it to get too bad, as I am a wheelchair user and only have my hands to rely on.
Many thanks

New Severity score
I had a steroid injection back in Aug/Sept 2024, and all was good. However I have during August 2025, had symptoms return and get worse, all on record, i was hoping another steroid injection could help. contact via email as before, many thanks Alison Halsey
Additional surgery
Good afternoon. Last year I had carpal tunnel surgery on my left wrist as it was the most problematic. The results are amazing and I've had no issues what so ever and a complete recovery and transformation. I have been putting off having my right hand done as it is my dominant hand. Now it it's becoming quite problematic both at home and work. I have completed a new cts score. Is this the correct procedure and wait to receive your advice? Thank you in advance. J.Moat

Hi Dr Bland
My carpel tunnel symptons have returned sooner than expected, could I have another appointment please? I have completed the severity score.

Splint trail plus exercise
I have used the splints nearly every night since my appointment with you. I have also researched and implemented a carpal tunnel exercise routine which I do daily. This has helped my symptoms but not eradicated them. What should I do now?

Enter page title here. Injection
I had my 6th or 7th injection at the end of April. It is usually a year seperation between injections. What a relife, the pain was horrendous in the hand and up the arm to just past the elbow. I was waking up 3 or 4 times a night with the pain. After the injection I had my first full nights sleep in ages. The pain was completely gone. I have had knumbness at the end of my index and middle finger since though. First thing in the morning occasionally all my fingers can be knumb until I start moving them about.
