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.

Following CT surgery I am now suffering from severe stiffness in my right hand with an inability to create a fist shape. This is accompanied by aching from my wrist to my elbow, particularly first thing in the morning? Would it be possible to for this to be reviewed ?
Many thanks

Appointment, please!

Hi Dr Bland

I had an incredible year with no CP symptoms at all for the first time ever in so many years since coming to see you. Only now in November, left had numbness at night and morning has been slowly creeping back.
Could I have an appointment please?

Many thanks

Post surgery numbness

Good evening,
I had a steroid injection in my left hand on the 11th September with no changes in quite problematic symptoms.
I had surgery on my left wrist on the 12th October.
I appreciate it is early days but as of yet i have noted no improvements. I am still totally numb in my middle finger and some noted numbness in my index finger and thumb. Wrist is still quite sore post surgery.
Is this quite normal? and i'm just a bit impatient?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.
Kind regards
Mr Jason Moat

Steroid Injections and updated questionnaire

Good Morning Dr Bland,

My precious patient thread had to be shut down due to an error in the page.

My hands have become very numb again and waking me up a lot during the night. Also struggle to change my baby so thought it was time to have steroid injections in both hands if possible please? I know I am going to need the surgery but I am unable to have this whilst my baby is so young.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.
