Rrturning symptoms

Morning Dr Bland,
I'm suffering symptoms in both hands once again, more severe in the right & I'm splinting again. I last saw Emma for an injection in the right in July which worked well as usual. Could I come up for re testing please, I expect the results will be as disappointing as usual! No doubt your clinic is very busy & I'm away 9th - 17th November but I would be grateful if I can book anyway please. I have completed a new severity questionnaire.
Many thanks, Caroline

Pain after steroid Injection

Hi I had a steroid injection last week and the last couple of days I have horrendous pain in my wrist. The pain I’ve had this am brought tears to my eyes I only slightly knocked it when I hugged my daughter.
Is this normal? Thanks

6 weeks after injections

I received steroid injections into both wrists on my appointment on 31 August 2017. So entering 6 weeks feedback as requested.

Immediate symptoms:
Within a couple of hours of injections both hands had swollen (it looked liked I had borrowed King kongs!). Immediate pain relived by paracetamol. Swelling took 2 days to subside, but no reoccurrence
Flash burns - On both arms just above the elbow joint - these took 3 days to disappear.

Follow on:

Re-occurence of symptoms

I had steroid injections in both wrists on 13th April 2016, with quite good results. However, for the last two months I have been getting severe pain again in both wrists. The right wrist is the most painful of the two. I have been wearing my wrist supports but they are not helping at present. Would it be possible to try another round of steroid injections, or would I need another consultation with you again?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Barry

New assessment and injections

Hi
Just completed a new online assessment. I am hoping for a new appointment for a test and possibly injections in both wrists. I am a wheelchair user and it has been two years since I last came to your clinic and both hands going numb at night more often. Left wrist painful and tingling when bending.
Look fwd to hearing from you.
Many thanks

Time for an injection

Morning dr bland

I've been wearing a splint on my left hand for 3 weeks now but I'm still in so much pain with severe numbness,tingling and very aching. You asked me to try the splint for 4 weeks however I don't feel another week will improve it. I'd like to arrange for the injection to take place if that's ok?

Six weeks after the injections

Hi, thank you for the injections on the 21st of August. After I just left you I felt a big numbness in my left thumb and just above the wrist join. Then after few days the numbness I had all the time gone, my fingers began to be warm ( as it used to be generally always cold) :) I still have those sudden sharp stinging pains and especially it's paint full if I am, let's say picking apples, and need to use power in my fingers to get them of the twigs. It happens as well when I am cutting something hard or opening a jar.

Almost a year free of pain now returned with extreme pain

Hi, it's been almost a year from my last injection sadly the pain has arrived back. Is it possible to get another injection please. I must admit you don't realise how good you feel till the pain returns.
Kind Regards
Bill Burns
