Carpal Tunnel

Hi,

My hands have become worse since having the electric shock treatment, they are swollen and fingers have become bent.
I can not wear the splint at night as my wrist is too swollen.
I am having terrible trouble sleeping due to the pain.

Could you please advise on future procedures available to resolve this issue.

many thanks

Update following injection to right wrist

Hi,
I was asked to update you on how I was getting on following an injection to my right wrist in November last year, I hope this is the right place to do it!

Quite frankly, I'm amazed at how effective it was, full sensation has come back and no more tingles! However, I'm struggling with my grip, I restore cars for a living and when I hold tools for long periods, my wrist becomes painful and gripping is difficult. This is manageable as I then swap to my left hand but recently I've noticed my wrist seems to be loosing muscle, it's becoming quite dipped/sunken. Should I be worried by this?

My right hand

Hello I having very bad problems with my right hand it's very painful all time the numbness is really bad in both hands though the night and day I had 2 steroids injections

return of numbnes and pain

hi i'm just after a bit of advise, i had the injection in my right hand some time ago last year i cant remember the exact date, but for a while now i have had the symptoms return in the night but in both hands and sometimes really bad, this is not happening every night and i'm not getting the numbness in the day like i did before however i am getting pain and aching in my right wrist during the day after a bad night when i do certain things i.e lift or move something.

Post injection

Hello. Firstly i would like to thank your team for the great treatment i experienced this week.
I had injections in both wrists on Tuesday and had almost immediate relief from the pain and discomfort caused by swelling in my hand joints. You have referred me to rhumatology regarding the joint swelling. Maybe I'm being impatient, but my thumb, index and middle fingers have not improved with regard to numbness/sensitivity! Is this something that takes a little longer to improve please. Thanks for your help.

Needing Help please

Having received my splints on 30th November I wore them at night as instructed and instantly relieved the numbness and tingling in my fingers. Unfortunately over thee last 3 weeks I have had the painful numbness return in my fingertips with a vengeance. I am also suffering those same symptoms at night even though I am wearing the splints. Please help as it is keeping me awake at night :(

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.
