Reminder as requested by Doctor Bland

Good morning

I'm sending my reminder for you Doctor Bland as requested when I last saw you. Unfortunately the last steriod injections I had have made no difference and like you say its time for the operation. This was for my left hand.

Since I saw you my right hand has got considerably worse usual numb fingers etc. But one hand at a time I guess!!

I finish school on the 21st July so any time as near to that if possibly to give me chance to recover for the new term.

Thank you

Dawn

Appointment asap

Would I be able to get an appointment please to review my carpal tunnel. The pain is travelling to my elbows and I am getting pain and pins and needles in my while forearm.

Diagnostic Questionnaire completed

I was referred to your site by my GP and have completed the diagnostic questionnaire

Questionaire completed

I have just completed the CTS questionaire ref. 224008 Thank you.

Help!

The steroid injection initially dulled my symptoms to a more manageable level. Recently my right hand has become worse again.It is painfully numb 90% of the time and seems to be 'hovering' the rest of the time. Wrist braces seem to make it worse and are impractical for work - having said that, my hand is impractical for work anyway! If I cant get this sorted out I will lose/ have to leave my job. Driving is a problem now too.
Where possible I have adapted how I do things but some of the things I have to do for work can't be changed.

Appoint 7th June 11am Mary PW

Post surgery problems

Good morning Dr. Bland. I am hoping you can help me. I had carpal tunnel surgery on 11/03/2021 but have had no improvement and am still having to get up during the night with pain and I think the numbness and weakness particularly in my thumb is worse. Can you have the injections after surgery? they certainly gave me relief. Ann

Appointment chasing

I completed the questionnaire some time ago and I would have usually received an appointment by now. I’m really struggling as I care for my husband who is at end of life. Are appointments suspended at the moment due to COVID?

Appointment

Hi I’ve an appointment on the 27th May with dr bland. I can’t find where this will be held. Please can someone help. Many thanks

Appointment

I attended the clinic last year and was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both hands (right worse than left) to which I was administered a steroid injection, due to covid all operations were cancelled.
Since then I have not heard what is happening.
