Questionnaire completed

Hi, I've completed the questionnaire as requested. Quite difficult to answer accurately as I have very little use of LEFT ARM following complete shoulder revision and removal of rotator cuff in 2013. Nicola Denoon Duncan

I had a injection in my left wrist in July 2019. It has been excellent. About a month ago I had terrible pain in my wrist. The pain took my breath away. It finally went away. I wear a splint. on my left wrist every night but in the last two weeks I have had tingling in spite of the wrist splint. I also have trouble carrying things and holding things with my left hand. The tingling gets worse and worse the longer I had something.It is all just like it was before the injection except for the terrible pain I had.

Dr Bland

How do I book an appointment for another injection? I have been suffering for the past couple of months and my right hand is worse than ever. I am sleeping with both splints and have resorted to wearing the right one through the day to relieve the pain and frequency of numbness attacks.

Thank you

carpal tunnel injections

Iam trying to book an appointment to have injections, as my symptoms are worsening and the supports are not working.

Symptoms back and worsened

Hello please can you help direct this message to Dr Geremy Bland.
I have had 2 injections into my right hand to date with Emma. The symptoms have been back for some time now (didnt make contact sooner because of covid) however they are at the stage whereby my both hands are swelling and the numbness is so painful. Emma did say that if the symptoms return to contact you.
Many thanks.

Worsening symptoms

Dear Dr Bland,
I am a returning patient. You have seen me back in 2017 and have been diagnosed with CTS level 3 on the right hand and 2 on the left hand. I have been using splinters during nighttime since our consultation.
I am afraid that the symptoms on the right hand are getting worse and are having an impact on my everyday life (some tasks such as washing the dishes can be painful) and my professional life (I tend to use a mouse and keyboard for most of my day).

I was wondering whether you have any appointments available to discuss options.

Thank you in advance.

CTS while on dialysis

Hi there, I recently posted on here about cts while on dialysis, I was asked to fill in the survey, which I have done. My cts is causing me severe pain while on dialysis, to the point where at times I am having to come off slightly earlier than I should as my fistula is on the right arm also, and I can’t wear my support due to where the needles are. Could you please advise if it’s possible to have the normal injection that I’ve had in the past Thank you
