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.

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.

In pain when do I get help

Hi I'm supposed to have a appointment with the clinic this week but it is cancelled but I'm in pain most of the time

Review after splint

Is it possible for CTS to get worse after the splint? As thats how it feels? Was in agony washing and brushing my daughters hair earlier which doesnt normally affect it.

Six-Week Follow-Up

Following steroid injections, am letting you know how my carpal tunnel is doing, as requested. Carpal tunnel symptoms seem to have gone, however, there is a small amount of pain in my left wrist on the thumb side. It feels closer to the back of the wrist than the venous side. It is not very severe pain, nothing like as bad as the carpal tunnel. It tends to manifest at night and when I do things like opening jars. Occasionally feels very slightly swollen compared to the other wrist. More of an annoyance than anything. I just mention it in case it is something that could worsen.

6 week review after injection

I had an injection in my right hand on 10 February 2020. My left hand has been referred for surgery, which may not happen for some time due to the covid19 virus.

Treatment update

It is six weeks since I had my treatment at Canterbury hospital and, as requested, here is an update. I had left hand level one one and right ( my working hand), level three. I had a steroid injection in my right hand and I have worn a splint every night since then. I have consolidated with my left hand and there is no discernible change or problem. There has been a significant positive change with my right hand. It took about 4 days to settle down, slightly longer than specified. I have had no episodes of CTS overnight. I have had about three episodes of CTS during the day.

One year since carpel tunnel operations

Dear Dr Bland,
After several injections from you and your team over the past few years of which I am very grateful, I finally decided to have both hands sorted and had them operated on , one in January 19 and the other in March 19, to date both are successful with no further problems to date.
Thankyou to you and your team for all your help and guidance.

Kind Regards
Bill Burns ( demoman )
