Feedback re injection on 24 January 2019

It has been six weeks since my second visit to Dr Bland and my second injection. Very good results with no symptoms. The effects of the first injection lasted six months, so I am praying this one may last a little longer. Good to have full hand function with no night time pain and tingling.

Injection needed?

Hi dr Bland

After having two injections already, it looks like I need another, still getting a lot of pain,tingling and very tender in my left hand, can you book me in please?

Kind regards

Symptom Update

Hi Jeremy

I came to see you at the beginning of January with numb fingers in the night.
My severity score was a 2 on my right wrist and a 1 on my left wrist. You suggested a splint to wear at night
which I have been wearing each night and is very successful as I hardly ever wake up with numb fingers. So I am
happy to continue with this.

I do however do seasonal work at a garden nursery and am returning to this at the beginning of March. I did not
realise until recently, that last summer, when watering for an hour or two at a time at waist height, that the reason

Wrist lumps

I have had steroid injections in my wrists for the last 2-3 years. Over the last few months I seem to have developed a hard lump in my right wrist. It is restricting my hand movement and my thumb feels very weak, almost like it will dislocated. This is painful and affects how I can hold/pick things up. Anyone else ever had something similar?

Next appointment.

Hello,

Apologies for previously posting in the incorrect place. I would like to attend another appointment and wondered how I’d go about arranging one.

1st Steroid injection 20th November 2018

Hi, I had my 1st steroid injection on 20th November last year in my right wrist with no ill effects until now. Weekend just gone the tingling and numbness returned when out cycling. and since then, my whole wrist is now in pain worse than before I had injection. Does this mean the injections are of no benefit to me?

Update of symptoms

Hi
I had injections in both wrists on 4th December 2018. I would like to update my symptoms and can report that they have reduced and I am pain free although there is still a slight tingling in my right wrist. Otherwise I have no problems with this.

Update of symptoms

Dear Dr Bland,
You/Emma sent me a letter requesting an update since the appointment last October. I have completed a symptoms severity questionnaire and the result reflects quite well how I would describe the current levels.

The answers to the letter are as follows (my patient number with you on the letter is 104369):
