Symptoms returning

Good morning Dr Bland and team,

I had an injection for carpal tunnel 4 years ago (?) And gave up going to the gym, which has largely kept my symptoms at bay. However, recently the pain, swelling and tingling has returned. Night time pain has been quite severe, and upon waking in the mornings I can't even close my hands. I often cannot bend my index fingers (this has been intermittent for the last few years now). I have had blood tests and x rays to check for the presence of arthritis last year which came back negative.

Worsening CTS

Hi Team,

Confirmed CTS on 11/10/23, recieved steroid injection to right wrist on the day. Post injection symptoms were relieved in regard to pin and needles and numbness however there general aching continued.
For the past 6 weeks I have noted the pins and needles have returned and worsening numbness. Evening and night times are worse especially if I have been at work for the day.
My work is very manual and involves heavy use of my hand, my dexterity is an issue which is becoming more apparent in my day to day work (I am a clinical lead with the renal dialysis nursing team)

CTS has returned

I submitted a new assessment on the 12th Jan and haven't heard from you as yet. I would appreciate it if I could see you asap as it is driving me mad. Thankyou.

Recurrence of symtoms

Hello! I've been experiencing quite problematic symptoms in my right hand. I've completed the severity questionnaire. I would be grateful if I could be seen again for a review please.

Update

Hi, can you let Emma know my recent injections have been a great success and also they have relieved my tendonitis in my wrist ( I haven't got her email address) Many thanks!

Appointment please

Please can I be booked in for steroid injections. My last treatment was around spring 2023 and worked very well.

Many thanks
Tony Woodruffe

Symptoms returning

Hi Jeremy and team,

Pain and tingling have returned following a successful injection. Could I have another please?

Thanks

Appointment please

Hello, I was recently discharged following a successful steroid injection, however the pain and numbness is back in my right hand and wrist and was hoping to be able to see someone for further treatment.
Thanks, Hannah

Appointment please

I posted a new assessment score 20/12/23 and feel that another steroid injection would really help me. It has been just under a year since my last one. many thanks
