Right Hand Symptoms

Hi Jeremy

Symptom questionnaire

Hi

I have just completed the online symptom questionnaire as advised by my GP and to let you know when it was done.

Surgery next friday

Hi I'm due to have surgery next Friday but my medication has changed and I wondered if it will affect the op? I'm now not taking aripiprazole or duluxotine i am taking verapamil and lithium the lithium i have started last night woke this morning with hand tremors which I'm assuming will be a problem in surgery? Should I wait for after surgery to start the lithium?
Thanks
Megan

Email contact

I have been referred through by a hospital doctor and have now received my appointment. Having now completed the Self Diagnostic questionnaire do I still need to Email Dr Bland as per the instructions on the home page? It is a little unclear as I already have an appointment

Post steroid injections question

Hello

I received steroid injections in both wrists last week and so far, so good, although I still haven't spent a whole night without my splints.

A couple of questions if I may...
I've been having what I can only describe as hot flushes since the injections, is that common?

Also I was wondering if/when I would be able to resume weight training or is that a no no with CTS. I managed my first pain free cycle ride in about 6 months yesterday.

Many thanks
Tony

PAIN RETURNED AFTER INJECTIONS LAST YEAR

I RECEIVED INJECTIONS IN BOTH HANDS LAST YEAR AND IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE PAIN HAS RETURNED AND IS KEEPING ME AWAKE AT NIGHT. IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE MORE INJECTIONS OR DISCUSS FURTHER TREATMENT.

THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Updated Diagnostics

Good Afternoon Dr Bland,

I have updated my diagnostics, I had the injection in my hand back in November but over the last couple of weeks I have been getting symptoms returning in my right hand which was initially treated.

During the appointment it was discussed about getting retested if / when symptoms return. Can I have an appointment scheduled to look at my right hand again please.

Kind Regards

Repeat Steroid injections?

Hi Dr Bland
I have updated my profile with new symptoms
I had injections last July with excellent results but the last few weeks the symptoms have come back
Really just asking if having the injections again is a possibility thanks

Thank you

Dr. Bland,
Thank you for arranging such a quick appointment. I have been dreading today (after a year away) because I cannot bear the inside of my wrists being touched. So therefore the worst possible CTS patient. However again today (like last year) the young lady dealing with electric shocks to gauge severity found it so funny that we laughted through it together. Then Rachel had the task of dealing with two injections where I hate it most. I have apologised again, but once again this year she was wonderful and I cannot thank her enough.

Surgery date?

Hi there. I had my pre assessment phone call.

Was wondering if there was a date to have my surgery. The pain in really bad. The pain is really bad all the time and I don’t what any major damage to happen

Thanks
