Questionaire and request for appointment

Hello. I have completed the questionaire. Is it possible to have an appointment please.

Completed questionnaire

Hi, I have completed the questionnaire today, was told that I do have carpal tunnel in my right hand when I had the carpal tunnel surgery on the left hand, could you please book me a appointment many thanks

Updated severity test taken

I had my first steroid injection in my right hand in February 2020, all was good - the pain settled immediately. However, over the last few months the pain and numbness have been creeping back in. Now it's at a point where it is affecting my sleep and daily activities. Could I please request an appointment to see the CTS team.

Appointment needed please

Good afternoon,
My CTS has returned with avengance in my right hand ( having given me a break since before covid) it is now the worse it has been and at night i cannot sleep due to pain from my hand to my elbow. Please could you see me in clinic to discuss options? many thanks Kimberley

new referral

Was advised to fill out symptom questionnaire and post in forum that I had done so.

New questionnaire

Hi I have today completed a new questionnaire, could I request an appointment to have updated tests and ask about having surgery rather than more steroid injections.
Many thanks

Post-Operation

Hello.
I had a carpal tunnel operation 10 weeks ago. My hand has got better and I have feeling back in my fingers etc although they can be a bit tingly at times.
The problem I am having is I seem to have a hardish lump on the bottom of my palm. I am not sure if this is normal? Or if it will go away. It is still quite sensitive and sore.

Thank you.

Samantha.

6'ish week injection update

Thankfully again much improved overall, no problems at night, middle finger and inside index and ring fingers permanently numb, tingly and sometimes painful at tips but manageable

Added a new severity score

I was told by my doctor to re refer myself to be tested for carpal tunnel syndrome as I’m having issues with my right hand. For the past four weeks my little finger tip goes numb overnight and during the day. I’ve been wearing a wrist brace to see if it helps. So far there’s no difference and now I’m having issues with my index finger and my middle finger on my right hand.
