Symptoms started

Hi Dr Bland, the last time I came for a steroid injection the man who did them, sorry I can't remember his name, said not to leave it til it's bad to come and see you again. Can I have an appointment please? I will fill out a severity questionnaire, but it probably won't look as bad as before. Many thanks, Joanne

Appointment

Morning, is is possible to have an appointment in the clinic as CTS has returned on my left hand badly.

Pain getting too severe to allow me to work

Hello, I have not had to post on this forum since 2014 (?) as the pain I had was moderate and not so bad as to impair my daily work.
Lately the pain is getting so bad that I cannot work effectively or without a lot of pain. I did have regular injections which helped for quite awhile and now it the pain seems to have come back with a vengeance.
I am still able to work, but I fear that without some intervention I will have to reconsider.
I have no other means of income and I really need some help!
Many Thanks
Peter Allen

Successful treatment

I am one happy person..... within 12 hours of my steroid injections I am pain free....I cannot thank you enough, Dr Bland

Reoccurrence of symptoms

Hi Dr Bland,

I've noticed my symptoms creeping back after my steroid injection.
This is most noticeable after playing guitar for an hour or two.

Can I get another injection?

Thanks for all you do!
