Would it be possible to have an injection ASAP as I still haven’t heard from the hand specialist, I’m in considerable amount of pain and have trouble sleeping and doing any day to day activity’s, it’s really getting me down.
Thanks in advance

Severity Assessment
Dear Dr Bland
For your information I have completed what has become my annual severity assessment. I am pleased to say I am still only having minor numbness, due to my wrist position, when riding my bicycle. Otherwise I not having any problems. Thank you.
Review after 6 weeks of wearing a splint
I have tried the splint for about 6 weeks now.
It has helped to some degree, but not eliminated the symptoms and often causes rubbing and irritation by the morning.
After consideration, I would like to opt for the surgery with Chris James, please, if that is still an option?

Had steroid injections which have worked very well. But pain is back far worse than before. Constant pins and needles in my left hand and numbness. Excruciating pain. Back in the right but no where near as bad currently.

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
