up date for Dr Bland.

Dear Mr Bland after my treatment in late October i was asked to give some feed back in approx 2 months, I'm sorry that this is a little late.
I had two steroid injections ,one in each wrist, the left wrist i hardly felt any pain from the injection but the injection to the right wrist was quite painful.

Starting to have symptoms again

I had the injections around last April ( I think) and have just started to get the pain and numbness back in my hands, it is worse in my right hand though. ( I am right handed). what can I do to help it?

Flaring again

Hello

i have had an operation on my left hand for CTS and it is absolutely fine for a couple of years
The right one was not operated on.

Last week the left hand flared with CTS and i have a constant mild numbness in the last 2 fingers and some of the palm of the hand.

What should i do?

Enter page title here After my injections for carpel tunnel.

I went to see Dr Bland with carpl tunnel symptoms.
I already had, had a number of injections to alevate the symptoms I was having.
I realy didn't want to have a op as I feel that if something goes wrong there is no going back and I didn't want to suffer anymore then I have already.
Luckily for me Dr Bland and Sarah offered me more injections which I took.I did wonder if they would work again but to my absolute joy I am pain free for a while I hope.Thank you so much.

Post op

It is now 6 weeks since my op on my right hand, and have not had any CT Symptoms since. To the right of the scar is very hard and very sensitive and can be painful is this normal scar tissue.

How do I get referred back for another assessment?

My CT is getting worse and I am interested in having the operation to ease the symptoms. (I don't want to have the injections.) The symptoms are massively interfering with my sleep, and this is now having a detrimental effect on my work. I have tolerated the symptoms for quite some time (because I am terrified of needles/hospital procedures) however am now at the point where I am desperate for something to be done. How do I go about getting referred back for another assessment?
Many thinks for taking the time to read this.
Kind regards, Emma Andrews.

GP referral

Hi, I had a test on both of my hands in August 2016 and was diagnosed as 4 in both left and right hands. My GP only requested the test at the time. I have since seen GP and have been given splints. I also had steroid injection in my right hand but only felt relief for a month or so. I have saw GP in December and have been referred back to your clinic. Can you please advise me the current wait time.

*REQUEST FOR HELP PLEASE*

Hi Dr Bland. I had surgery on my hands 3 years ago but I'm still having symptoms. I'm still waking up with knumb hands, ive got severe pain in them constantly and they are very weak. I have just done an update on my symptoms. also I'm having trouble still with my elbows which I have also had operated on. the pain in my elbows is unbearable and my arms are so weak

I would be grateful if you could get back to me please.
