Left hand weakness.

Had surgery on my right hand and it was completely successful a little weakness but far better than I expected. At the same time I was tested on the left and it showed minimal signs of cts. I now wake up with slight pins and needles and some pain, but the weakness is the worst of it. Is this common or do you think this is not related to cts.

Steroid Injection Appointment

Good Morning Dr Bland
I came to see you last Thursday and you diagnosed me with CTS, Stage 4 in both hands. I have decided that I would like to try the steroid injections before I opt for the surgery so wondered whether you can arrange an appointment(s) for me please?
I cant quite recall the conversation but felt that you said that they are Saturdays in Canterbury. I don't know if there is a waiting list but as I am away quite a lot over Easter I have put a few days here that I am available:
8th April
22nd April
06-May
27-May

Please let me know if I need to do anything further.

Returning pain

Hi I had a second injection last may my symptoms have now returned and pain is keeping me awake at night and tender during the day. I have been trying the splint again but it's not easing the pain much. Am I able to have another injection?

Request for help with right hand

Since my last treatments my left hand which was operated on has been no great problem and vastly improved on the way it was pre-operation. However my right hand which has been treated with 2 cortisone injections has steadily become much more of a problem. I now have pain in my right hand especially at night which regularly wakes me up and whenever I use it during the day. I would much appreciate having the operation on my right hand now to ease the pain in much the same way it did for my left hand.

Post Op

I had my operation on my left hand by Dr J Rine at Herne Bay on 25/02/2017. Whilst the injections for the op were a little uncomfortable, I would say it was well worth the uncomfortable feelings, albeit I think I had made myself think the worse, I cannot believe the progress that has already been made. On Saturday afternoon, the numbness and tingling had already left my fingers and on Saturday evening I had feeling back in my hand. I am not still able to grip that well, however, I can already feel a vast improvement in my hand. I can make a fist and touch each of my fingers with my thumb.

Book up for 2 ops

Hi Dr Bland

After recent consultation with you, i've decided to take your advice and book the 2 ops.

Left hand - 29th April

Right hand - 22th July

I've already discussed with Husband and employer and these dates work for us as I can get help during these periods

Best regards
Amanda

Already showing improvements with splints

Two sleeps in with the new splints, and woke up from both without pain, numbness or tingling.
So pleased. :)
Plus they're not too uncomfortable, and I slept well, so getting used to them will be easy.

Thanks
Bettina

i had cts surgery on 7th january at herne bay. My scar took 4 weeks to heal. The scar is still very sore and the area around it very painful.i get very sharp pain around my wrist and i cannot do much with my hand at all. If I do use my hand the pain is worse. The pins and needles are better but have been replaced by pain. It is so bad at night that i started using the splint again but not sure if that is a good idea or not. I dont know what to do - I am hoping things will improve and I can get back to my gardening voluntary work.

Repeat Injections

Hi, my last injections were amazing and have lasted well, I appreciate this isn't always the case but could I make an appointment for some more please as over the last few months my carpel is back and I'm suffering.

Kind Regards

This is a message for Emma - just to say the injection in my left hand has been very successful, I have been delighted with the outcome of my visits to you, very many thanks.
