Its back again sorry

Sorry to report its back with a bit of a vengeance mainly my right hand at night sometimes both hands. I have very few problems during the day just sometimes goes a bit numb if i'm not very active. But at night it wakes me up with my whole hand in pain. Usually my right hand is the worst. I think my last injections were December so its only been about 7 months. The only cure is to get up and get active.

Thumb/wrist pain after surgery

Following successful CTS surgery on R hand 2-3 months ago I have developed constant pain in side of R wrist. Pain has been present for 3 weeks and is not improving. Seems to be related to thumb tendon and am now getting aches further up the arm.

Have submitted current questionnaire

re:completed questionnaire and severity test

I just completed the questionnaire and hopefully I can have an appointment about my case as the pain in my hands are unbearable sometimes and affecting my daily routine.

Thank you.

Not heard anything in a while

Hello there, I think I had my last appointment in April and was told I would need surgery on both of my hands. I was also told there is a 6 week waiting list. Unfortunately, I've not heard anything since and it's been over 8 weeks. Has my referral gone through? I only ask because my carpal tunnel seems to be getting worse now and I would like some relief from it. Thank you in advance, Dan.

No response since 2022, now unbearable pain.

Hello, I first done the questionnaire in 2022, and was told I would get a response. Which has never came. I havent chased it up, as I didnt want to be a nuisance and take up anyones time, and was hopefully of hearing from you. I have been back to my GP today, who said that everything I was saying would lead them to believe I have CTS, but they arent able to help me as its self referral. My pain in my left hand when lifting anything is now so painful I can't really use it, which isn't great as I have just finished 4 years of training to be a gas engineer and plumber.

Questionnaire completed

I have completed the diagnostic test last week and updated the severity this morning-it's not getting any better...

Hi
My doctor said I have symptoms of cts and to do questionnaire. This is telling me I have 3% chance of having it. What happens now ? I have had symptons for 3 to 4 weeks now and really want to find out what is wrong with my wrist.

Kind regards
