An appointment if possible please

Good afternoon Dr Bland
I would like to request an appointment for a test and treatment as necessary on my left hand. I had CTS release surgery on my right hand in February this year which is improving well.
I would like to follow up treatment for my left hand in the hope that I can avoid surgery on that hand. However, I am aware of the issues at present related to Covid19 and that this might not be possible at present.
Kind regards
D. De Paolis

Suzi Stow New Carpal Tunnel Referral

Dear Dr Bland,

I have completed the survey as requested but I'm not happy some aspects of it as it didn't really relate I felt to me. I've done my best with what I was given.

The letter said I could post on the forum (apologies I'm not IT savvy) or send to your email address which is what I've elected to do with what I feel is a true account of my current situation re severe Carpal Tunnel in my left wrist. I'm not even sure if I'm in the right bit of the forum!?

If my email doesn't reach you then kindly inform me suzistow [at] yahoo [dot] com

Kind regards,

Suzi Stow

My pain in wrists and hands has got worse

I was due to have another test performed on my hands but it was cancelled because of the covid 19 and I can not get to see my doctor only a telephone consultation which really doesn’t help me.i am in constant pain and it keeps me awake at night.i am on strong pain killers and using strong ibuprofen gel but it doesn’t really touch it.please can someone help me.

Feedback after second set of injections

I attended for a second round of injections in both wrists on the 17th Feb. Sensitivity in my fingers is probably about 60-70% of what I consider normal. The biggest help has been wearing wrist splints at night. Once used to them I have a pretty much undisturbed night with no burning or tingling waking me up. The questionnaire still gives me. 78% CP rating and with my sensitivity tests being at 5 on both hands I guess it’s only a matter of time before operations ( with a 90% predicted success) become the best solution.

left hand -

Six week follow up

Good morning,
I have been wearing a splint at night as agreed when I attended clinic. Initially I had good results but after a couple of weeks I am now experiencing same symptoms as before at night. I have tried tightening it and loosening it but no real help. I even left it off once and woke up in pain I have never experienced before with CTS.
I have seen other splints available to buy and wonder if you would recommend one of these over the one I was given in clinic?
I understand things are exceptionally busy for the NHS right now, but just wanted to up date while it was on my mind.
