Symptom questionnaire

Hi, I have just completed the online symptom questionnaire

Judt completed questionnaire

Hi, I've just completed and fear I may have completed incorrectly as my result has come back with 9% chance of CTS, I have had CTS surgery on both hands 13 years ago, the symptoms have returned in my left hand, non dominant hand, severe numbness, tinkling permanently now. Have worn a hand splint for last month which hadn't helped at all. My fear is now that questionnaire has come back as 9%, will I be offered an appointment, my gp has referred me. This type of system all very new to me. Regards Tracy

Just a quick update, I saw Dr Bland on the 13th Jan and he confirmed that I did indeed have CTS, was booked in for injections the next day ! Well all I can say is a massive thank you, after sleepless nights, crying with the pain and pins and needles that took over an hour to go, I can honestly say my results have been amazing. The next day I had some pins and needles but no where anything like I was used to, I can only speak from my experience but would suggest giving the injections a go, for me nothing short of a miracle and hope the effects last.

CTS questionnaire

I have completed the CTS questionnaire ready for my appointment this Friday, 19 February.

New injection?

Hi Doctor Bland

I had a steriod injection in my left wrist around October I think, unfortunately this time it hasn't made any difference.

I've been putting off contacting you in the hope something may ease but its just getting worse. Is it possible to get me in for another go?

Many thanks

Dawn

new appointment

Hello I came in over a year and a half ago for my CT injection and now all my symptoms have returned and wondering how I can book my next appointment with DR Bland. I work as a TA/Teacher at the moment so writing at the moment has been a real issue. Thanks in advance! Ethan

Online Assessment completed

Hi. I've just completed the online assessment and it's given me a result of 2% chance of having CTS, is this right as my right hand I can barely do anything with?
