Carpal tunnel returning?

Hi, I was last at the hospital in December 2023 for an injection in my right hand. Over the last few months my hand has been locking up (mainly my little finger) whilst typing and it hurts when I type. I am not sure if This is carpal tunnel kicking back in as I do not have many pins and needles as I had previously my hands now tend to lock/stiffen

Symptoms returned

The injections have worked well for me but pins and needles/ tingling has now returned. I’ve completed an updated severity questionnaire.

Surgery Referal Please

Hi

I have had my left hand operated on in Feb and awaiting my right.

Please can you refer me for surgery. The pins and needles are really bad now and the numbness.

Thank you

Appointment please and ulner nerve question

Good morning Doctor Bland

Just wondering if its possible to have an appointment please, my right wrist is very bad with numbness pain again.

Apologies in my last message for Christmas appointments, any appointment I will be very grateful for.

Also a time when I saw you, you kindly discovered my ulner nerve in the elbow was inflamed casing my little finger to tingle (left arm) im back there again. Am i right in thinking this isn't something you deal with and I need to contact my doctor?

Hope your well

Many thanks

Weakness in wrists

Hello,

I used to come yearly from a steroid injection in my wrist and this always helped my symptoms of numbness. I've nkt been in a few years as the numbness had stayed away for a long time however it has recently returned and now I have quite severe weakness in both wrists that's quite painful doing daily activities.

Will an injection still work for this?

Pins and needles are returning

Hello,
Pins and needles, discomfort and weakness is returning to might right hand (left seems ok at the moment). I am not in pain yet, but I don't know whether we should start the ball rolling or wait.
Advise welcome
Many thanks.

Good evening Doctor Bland/Emma

I'm experiencing numbness tingling etc again in my right hand.

I'm planning next summer to get it operated on regardless of severity as just when I think it's OK it comes back.

Quite in advance but I'm a little stuck with work and don't have a day off until 23rd December, if the clinic is running then would it be possible to have an appointment? I'll be off work then for two qeeks to rest it. If not I will work something out whenever you can fit me in.

I'll do a new severity score now.

Many thanks

Dawn

Contacts

I have tried to contact clinic, and re filled form no 218157, and had no reply. I had CT surgery on R wrist 1 year ago, now my L wrist/hand is stopping me getting to sleep, and problems during day. The questionnaire is still giving me high numbers on my R hand!! and hardly changing on the L. This form doesn't seem to understand when you alter the scoring following successful surgery. I would like to be seen for my L hand please.
