Return of symptoms
Morning, my symptoms have returned after about two years, I have had my right wrist injected twice, with instant relief. Am I able to have it done again? I have filled out a questionnaire and currently wear a splint with minimal effect.
Kind regards
Laura.
Appointment
Hello, Would you be able to give me some advise please; The injections I've had don't seem to have worked, I still use the splints which are really good, but the problem I've got is that I'm now under rheumatology and Endocrinolgy. Rheumatology are doing tests for systemic arthritis and lupus. I had a big injection in my bum and it got rid of some of my symptoms but not all, I'm wondering what to do about the CPS whether you would think of surgery or wait to see what results come back from other doctors. Don't know what pain is from what problem, thanks. Darren
Advice please
Good morning Doctor Bland
I last came to see you in clinic in February last year. I had injections but can't remember if it was in both wrists, also I'm not sure if it was my 2nd or 3rd lot of injections.
Injection appointment
Hi Dr. Bland I am wearing my splints now for 2 weeks during the night. My left hand is slightly better but now I have pain all the way up to my elbow. My right hand hasn't changed much. I think it got a bit worse. We spoke about injections in both hands on the 15th of December. Could you please confirm the appointment? I have an appointment that morning in a different hospital. So any time after 10 am would be fantastic. Thank you
Injection appointment
Dr Bland, attended the appointment today at New Hayes Bank and was given the injection in left hand. So can cancel appointment for tuesday. Thank you for sorting this matter out for me so quickly. The wider NHS needs to look at how you run your clinics!
Treatment
Six weeks post Carpal Injection all well with right hand
Carpal Tunnel Update

7 weeks ago I was given splints for left and right hand and injection into my right wrist. I was asked to let you know after this time how my symptoms were. I have updated my "questionnaire" on line in my account for you to read. I await your comments. Thank you.
Returning symptoms
Hi My symptoms have gradually returned over the last few days, both my hands are dead when waking, although I haven’t used the splints at night yet. I have today completed a new self diagnosis questionnaire.
The last time I had an injection on my right wrist was March and my left was sometime before that.
Would I be able to have an appointment for more injections on both hands if this is possible as previous injections have left me symptom free with no side effects.
CFTS returned after injection in sept
The carpel tunnel in my right hand has returned quickly after the steroid injection in september what are the next steps to be be referred back to Canterbury CTS clinic? It has also increased in pain in the left side too. The pain is more or less constant. Caroline Harris.
Carpal tunnel
Hi I came to the clinic on 16.10.17 - I tested positive for CTS - was given injections of Kenalog in both wrists and also provided with hand splints to wear nightly. Within a couple of weeks the pain in my hands and arms had reduced significantly and now 5.5 weeks later that pain has more or less disappeared. I was also finding it difficult to lift objects (water filled kettle) one handed - this is now much better.
