Questionnaire

Hello I have completed the questionnaire id 222725.

Right hand now deteriorating noticeably

Dear Dr Bland,

whole left arm down to tip of fingers numb

Ref 222695. Not sure what happens now. Filled in questionnaire but dont have carpal tunnel. My symptons are I wake up in the early hours with right from the left shoulder all the way down past elbow to tips of fingers is like a throbbing numbness. After sitting up it gradually wears off. I currently take Methotrexate for Rheumatoid A. Sometimes randomly get same on right arm but not so severe.

Pain after injection

Had the injection (2nd) lot today the right hand injection really hurt at the time the left not so much 5 hours on my right hand arm elbow and going up to shoulder is in so much pain the little finger up that side of the wrist and across the top of the wrist is really painful the thumb is hurting to the wrist is very swollen and very hard to move and hard to straighten fingers will this pain subside and is there anything I can do

Worsening symptoms

Due to worsening symptoms, I completed another assessment on 14 November as instructed by the hospital. Unfortunately I wasn't informed that I needed to email you. Therefore am now doing so. If you need anything further, let me know.

New patient

Good Afternoon, I have completed the questionnaire and sent an email but not had a response, Both hands are constantly numb, I get woken up every night in pain and trying to look after a newborn baby... starting to really struggle.

Right hand return of symptoms.

Dear Dr Bland,
I have been under your care for many years and I thankyou for your prompt treatment on each occasion I’ve been in pain.
I had an injection in my right wrist during this summer and this stopped the pain I was in during the nights sleep , I have had numb and tingling fingers throughout but I can live with this.

Update re injection on 16th October

Initially the injection reduced my symptoms, tho I still had some numbness in ring finger and little finger. However numbness is now returning to my other fingers. While the numbness isn't as painful as before it's beginning to affect what i can and can't do again - especially small/ fine motor skills and strength. This is having an impact on my working life. Please is there anything i can do? I have been told the problem with my ring and little fingers could be due to something else, possibley elbow? Who would i see to sort this out too please?

I have just completed the assessment questionnaire for CTS symptoms and severity. This was suggested by my G.P. Unfortunately I am not sure what happens next. Can you please advise?

Thank you

Completed Questionnaire

Good evening, Dr Bland.
I received a letter from my doctors surgery, asking me to complete a questionnaire for you. I have been a previous patient with the clinic, but had to re-register, as I could not see how to complete the survey again on my previous log in.
My questionnaire ID number 222580, if this helps you locate my details.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
