Testing for CTS

I had the test back in May and was told I do not have CTS. The strange thing is that my right thumb used to be extremely painful but since the test I haven't experienced any pain. Is there any connection. Thank you

Numbness returned

Good afternoon Dr Bland, I hope you are well. I had an injection with Emma in April 2018, it has been brilliant until about a week ago, both hands are keeping me awake. As you have always been brilliant, could I arrange an appointment with you ASAP.

Kind regards

Louise Wynne

Swelling

Morning all, I have been suffering well over a year in both hands with my dominant hand the worst. I have had three injections and am now awaiting the operation which is scheduled for the end of June. When I wake in the morning my hand is very swollen. Just wondering if anyone else has the same thing and if there is anything I can do in the way of painkillers because the pain is so bad and seems to be getting worse. My hand is sometimes twice the size, cannot wait for the operation to come around!
Any advice would be great thanks everyone

Carpal tunnel getting worse

Hello I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel a couple of years ago. It has been just about bareable, but recently my hands and wrists have been so painful. I have been wearing a split when possible, which eases the pain for a small amount of time, then the pain returns.
Any help would be much appreciated

Worried after fall

Hi. I had CTS surgery on my left hand on 17th April which was healing well. On Sunday I tripped up the stairs and put my hands out to save myself. I landed fairly heavily and bent both my hands back. Both hands have been very painful since. Am I at risk of having done any damage or will it just delay the healing process?

Thank you.

Return of symptoms

To Mr Bland
I fear my symptoms have returned, my right hand is keeping me awake though the night and is also causing me problems driving and writing and very painful pins and needles and achy any chance of an appointment please many thanks.

Need to return to clinic

Hi

I had a test a few years ago and have been wearing splints since, but it’s getting worse, so think I need to come back to the clinic. How do I go about getting an an appointment?

Thanks

Update of my CTS and a Question.

I have had CTS in both hands for many years and decided to have surgery on my left hand in Jan of 2018.
This turned out to be the best option for me.
I now have no pain in this hand or numbness and the condition in my right hand has improved on its own so much that I do not suffer any pain at night and only have tingling to it when holding a phone or cup to long. I can cope with this inconvenience at the moment and will continue to monitor it and inform you if it gets to bad.

CTS returned

I had an appointment at Canterbury at the end of last year, I had worn my splint for a few weeks and saw an improvement but other the last 4/6 weeks the splints aren’t helping, I am back to waking through the night with tingling and uncomfortableness and waking in morning with numb hands, my right hand is predominantly worse but it’s back in both.

Injection needed

Dear Dr Bland

Symptoms of tingling have returned to both hands especially left. Was wondering if you could schedule me for a new injection. Last was Oct 2017.

Many thanks
