Result of steroid injection.

I had the injection on my left wrist on the 4th September 2017. For 3 days I was symptom free then on day 4 the symptoms returned but as severe as before the injection. The pins and needles are mainly in middle, ring and little finger and go up the arm to just past the elbow joint. On a scale of 1-10 the pain is at it's worst during the day when I sit at a table registering 6 or 7. If I remain sitting at the table I have to rest my arm in my lap and take pain killers. I wear the wrist brace every night in bed as the pain is more intense then.
Yours sincerely

first steroid injection results

I had my first steroid injection done on 2nd August to the right wrist. Some symptoms improved, pain during a night and stiffness in the morning is better. Numbness in my fingers appears to be now only in my fingertips. As I’m right handed, some of activities (griping, holding or lifting things) are still causing discomfort.

Injection result

Following my injection by Emma in August, it has been very successful . Symptoms much improved with only very occasional pins and needles. Thank you for the excellent service.

Steroid injection

I attended the clinic last Tuesday for a steroid injection in my right wriist. CTS Moderately severe 3/6 diagnosed on 25th August
2017. After 5 days there has been no improvement but I know it might take longer to have effect. Can't wait!

Symptoms returned, next stage?

Following a second round of steroid injections earlier this year symptoms have returned to both left and right hands, but the right hand seems to be worst affected. Unfortunately I keep forgetting my password for the CTS website. Please can we make an appointment to discuss further treatment? I am waking up with the usual numb, tingling sensations, but in addition a painful dull ache across the knuckles which I can't shake off and an awareness of discomfort in the wrist.

Many thanks

Appointments

My GP has referred me to your clinic for tests (EMG and nerve conduction) for potential CTS.
The appointment I have is for Monday 11th September at 1530. I have constant pain and numbness and would be very grateful if an earlier appointment could be made. I'm am available at short notice most days.

Injection worn off

Injection in my left wrist appears to have worn off, is it possible to have operation on left hand at Herne Bay again. Right hand has been very successful, symptom free.

Tingles after steroid injections

Hi all

I had stereoid injections yesterday at 3.30pm. My hands were hurting last night, not as much this morning. However, I have pins and needles in both hands, particularly in my right hand. I get this anyway due to Carpal Tunnel but it's a little worse than normal at the moment. Is this right?

Thanks
Sharon

Post Treatment Feedback

I am happy to report that after having the injection on 31 May I got almost total relief after 2 or 3 days. I still get slight pins and needles when riding my bike for 45 mins or more, pre treatment I got them after 10 mins and really severe.so I am very happy with the outcome.
Thank you to the Canterbury team!

Post operative check up.

I had the operation on my right hand on 29th April 2017. Although it has been slow to heal, something doesn't feel quite right around the operation site. Would it be possible for you to organise an appointment at your clinic just to make sure all is OK
Many thanks
