Appointment Needed

Hi,

I had my right hand operated on last year and at the same time I had a further injection in my left hand. The injection in my left hand has now warn off and I would like to get my left one operated on, as it is extremely painful at night and constantly numb during the day. Please let me know what the next steps are or when you can see me?

Thank you

Susan

Hi Dr Bland,

I had surgery on my hand a few years ago now and the pain is now getting really bad in both hands but the right one is the worse. Do i need to go to my drs surgery to be referred or can you send me out an appointment ??

Injection

Hello Mr Bland.
Could you please make me another appointment to have another injection in my right wrist.
I had the operation on my elbow in February this year which seems to have helped with the numbness in my little finger. I still have bad aching come back approx every six months in my wrist and numb thumb and fingers in the night. Once I have had the injection it does stop the aching and numbness. Thank you

Painful wrists & hands

Morning Dr Bland, I last had my right wrist injected in February this year which has been effective up until last week. I have suddenly developed pain, swelling & weakness in both hands together with some numbness so I'm splinting again at night.
The pain seems to be mainly in my wrists & knuckles but different fingers are affected at various times! The weakness is very worrying so I wondered if I could come & see you again for a review please.
Many thanks, Caroline

Enter page title here update on symptons

I had steroid injection on right wrist which seemed to help, but after 24 hours my left hand seemed stronger than the right. The splints seemed to work. I am still using the splints at night. My hands are getting worse and I am finding simple tasks difficult. My nerves in my wrists were not in a good condition and I was told this could be due to diabetes. I have had the necessary tests carried out and I do not have diabetes. My feet have similar symptoms to my hands.

Appointment

Thank you Mr Bland for your quick response.

Appointment

Hi - I have attended the clinic in the past, I have had surgery on my right hand a few years ago. The symptoms in my left hand have accelerated, I wear my splint to bed at various times in the day. Do I need to go through my GP for an appointment?
Kind Regards
