new injections worked again

Thank you for seeing me again last month and agreeing to steroid injections again. As your colleague will tell you I only have two phobia's, one being injections the other having the inside of my wrists touched. Obviously not the perfect patient for this treatment but we managed to laugh our way through it and the result is again wonderful. My thanks to both of you for putting up with me !

Completed questionnaire

Hi Dr Bland,

I have completed the CTS questionnaire. What is the next step?

Kind regards

Excruciating wrist/hands pain,Numbnes,Tingling and Weakness

I have been experiencing intense pains,numbness,tingling sensation and weakness on my wrists and hands(palms )since February 2022. I initially put it down to the cold weather and applied balm, hot towels ,exercises and painkillers (paracetamol and ibrufen). The symptoms keep getting worse despite the warm weather in the past weeks. I struggle to use my laptop for work and to carry out basic household chores. The symptoms are usually worse in the evenings through the nights ,and remain throughout the day although at a more manageable level.

Request for a Steroid Injection

Good Morning.

Due to COVID I could not attend my appoint at Canterbury, thankfully that has now past. My right hand has got considerably worse over the last few months. Would it be possible to receive another appointment.

I have completed another severity sheet.

Worsening symptoms

Have had a recent worsening of my symptoms, can only drive for short distance before having to shake my hand to relieve tingling /numbness, also starting to find writing causes similar symptoms, can I now be considered for surgery?

Completed CTS

I have completed my CTS questionnaire.

Was on forum but all my posts have gone

Hi I came to an appointment on Tuesday 3rd May 10am Carol Iverson I’m writing a new post as all my other post’s have disappeared.
Update on my wrists.
My right wrists is a lot better after steroid injection but my left wrist is no so good. It’s not as painful or weak as it was before.
But I still am getting pins & needles and some pain, not unbearable, you did test and scan my wrists and I know there was more swelling in this wrist, maybe needs more time, wondered about your thoughts on this.
Many thanks
Carol

Tingling getting worse

Hi, I have bi-lateral carpal tunnel syndrome. The tingling in both hands is getting more. Is there anything I can do to help this? Do I need to wear my splints all of the time now?
Thank you Debbie
