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

Returning patient

I had steroid injections with you last year I think possibly before which really helped. Over the last few months I have been experiencing serve weakness and pain in both wrists. I am really struggling to do simple things such as fastening my bra, tiring my shoes and I can not do any exercise that uses my hands. I’m even struggling to type this. Thank

Questionnaire issues

Hi,

I first completed the questionnaire 9-8-18

Due to a now constant pain in my right hand, my GP has requested I complete the questionnaire again, print to paper and to give her a copy so that she could then email a referral.
