New referral assessment from GP

I have completed my severity questionnaire for your consideration

CT in left hand

Hi there

I had CT in my right hand and had surgery on it in 2021.
This has now healed and is doing great but now I’m starting to get symptoms in my left hand.
I was a 5 on the scale on my right hand and a 3 in my left when I was tested.
I’m waking up 2/3 times a night with the same pain that I had in my right hand.
Would it be possible to come for a test to see if I need a steroid injection or surgery on it.

Thanks

Trigger finger?

Hi, I had carpal tunnel release surgery last year on both hands. My left middle finger is extremely painful and the pad on my palm. In the morning my finger is completely stuck bent and incredibly painful, the stiffness reduces slightly and I can click it straight but it is so painful. It is now affecting my daily life as I'm finding it hard to do things. I'm having no luck getting through to my gp about this, it seems, really hard to get an appointment.
Any suggestions please? This is driving me mad. Thanks so much. Laura.x.
