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?

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.

New assessment

Hello, have completed an assessment questionnaire. Reference number 233877

Thank you.

Very severe numbness

I am wondering if I could be seen again. Numbness in left hand and wrist is now awful at night and tingling on and off all day. Have completed a new score today. Regards

Hi, thankfully it’s been a long time since I last needed your help. Unfortunately the same problem is rearing its head! Last time it was solved by injections and I’ve very gratefully been able to go from disabling pain to almost normal. However in the last few weeks I’ve noticed the same pain and more so in the left arm. Granted it’s nowhere near what it was but I don’t want to get to the stage where the pain was all consuming.

I have completed a new severity score but I also have other symptoms that I would like to discuss with you

Phenomenon

Cannot explain this but before my last appointment on 19th Aug 2024 I was in a lot of pain mainly from my Right hand at night. Tests confirmed my left hand was still grade 3 but my right hand had increased from grade 3 to grade 5 The advice was for another injection in my left hand to reduce the pain but for Surgery now to my right hand and I agreed to this course of action. The surgery to my right hand is now booked and just a few weeks to wait.
