Constant pain
Hello, I had steroid injections in both wrists earlier in the year and my symptoms lessened and at points went away but over the last few weeks my left wrist has become very swollen and painful all day every day at the moment.
Could I please have an appointment?
Hi Dr Bland. The CTS symptoms have returned in both hands although more so in my right hand. I have completed a severity test on line. Is it possible to have an appointment please?
Regards
D. De Paolis
Returning symptoms - can you help
My symptoms have returned to my right hand, tingling and numbness. Can I return to the clinic please?
Diagnostic Questionnaire
I have just completed the diagnostic questionnaire which says it is unlikely to be CT.
This surprises me as both my physiotherapist and doctor seem to think it is.
Severe Pain
Dear Jeremy,
Problems returned
I had my last injection for cts in my right hand on April 20th at my GP surgery but the symptoms have again returned. I saw a consultant on 22 May but due to the injection, the results of the test were improved. She advised I should contact your service as soon as my symptoms returned in order for more intervention. I am going on holiday on 12 November and hope it will be possible to have a further injection prior to that date. Please contact me as soon as possible. I will also leave a message on your ansaphone. Many thanks Wendy Bartlett
Returned symptoms
Hi Doctor Bland
I'm afraid my symptoms have returned in my left hand, I've been trying to manage it but my index finger tip has gone numb again now and the pain in my wrist is getting worse. Would it be possible to have an appointment please?
Many thanks

Poss return of carpal tunnel issue in left hand
I have been experiencing very dead hands at night for last 6-8 weeks but thought at first it may have been a neck issue as also occasional headaches. I have been having treatment from osteopath for it. Now I am having ‘stabbing pains’ going down left middle finger and sometimes first finger. Also a dull ache in wrist. This with a loss of grip/power in left hand makes me think my last injection has worn off. It can happen when I am not doing anything at all, but definitely happens if I have been knitting or sewing, gardening and peeling vegetables.
Many thanks
Update following injection
Dr Bland
Following my appointment on 17/07/19 and injection the same day, I have now completed the follow up questionnaire to consider. Apologies for delay - personal issues.
I await your opinion for any next steps or further investigations.
Many thanks

Injection required again please
Good morning,
I’m experiencing horrible pain and numbness in my left wrist again and wondered if I could please book in for an assessment ?
I am Ashford based so please could this be a week day between 10-2pm? That way I can still do the school run.
Look forward to hearing from you
Thanks , Lou Podbilski (nee Evans)
