I am a chef by profession. quite concerned if i would be unable to do my work. I have tried emailing but was unsuccessful as the email id provided shows invalid.

effects of local anaesthetic after decompression
i had a decompression at the K & C yesterday afternoon and I am concerned that the local anaesthetic has not worn off yet. I have no feeling at all in my index, middle and ring finger; there is some return of feeling in my thumb and my little finger is back to how it was before surgery. there is some tingling every now and then and a little pain at the site. Is this normal or should i be concerned?
I have no swelling and have been keeping the hand elevated.

Steroid Injection Required
Hello.
My right hand has started to go numb when I use my computer at work. I have to stop typing and rest until the numbness passes.
Its been over a year since I had my last steroid jab, and I believe the time has come for another jab.

Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire
This is to confirm that I have completed my first Questionnaire. Dr letter advised once Questionnaire completed I should confirm on Forum. Kind regards Caraline
Is it time for another Injection?
I have had about 6 injections in my right wrist for carpal tunnel. However, my last visit, which was last year, showed that my carpal tunnel had gotten better. I still had an injection though as my symptoms were still bad.
I was off work with a separate ailment for 5 months so didn't need to use my hands as much as I would have done if I was working so I think I have benefitted from the injection longer than previous ones.
Not had a date for surgery
I saw Mr Bland last year and was told I would have surgery. I have not received any information or dates for this, I was putting it down to possibly being Covid putting things on hold but not sure if I have just been forgotten. Can anyone tell me how long the waiting list is at the moment or if they are doing surgery please.
New consultation needed please.
Good evening Dr Bland
Please can you take a look at both my hands now. The pain has really kicked in the last month or so. Pain throughout wrist area into fingers and joints which are now locking very frequently. Strength is weak and forming a fist is virtually impossible. Would be grateful if you can sort me out like you have done in the past. Many thanks Eddie
