Painful wrist
Good afternoon, I had my right wrist injected in May 2015 but symptoms have returned & worse in that wrist. Pins & needles at night and I have more pain than I have before. It also feels weak at times when I grip which is worrying me. Could I come & see you again for tests/another injection? Thanks
Injection successful
Just wanted to up-date Emma that the injection I had on 2nd December in my right wrist appears to have been successful. Very occasionally getting pins and needles and the pain in fingers is a lot lot better. It will be interesting to see how it copes when my workload increases again. Thank you
Consultant information
Good morning,
Following my nerve conduction test, I have decided to go ahead with the operation on my right wrist. I have been in contact with my Private insurance to arrange my operation. Before I can have a pre op consultation, they need to know the speciality of the Consultant doing the operation so they can direct me to the relevant person.
Many thanks in advance
Wrist splints unsuccesful
Hi, I had an appointment at the clinic in November last year and was given wrist splints to wear as a first treatment. I have worn these religiously for several weeks but they are not helping. There is improvement over night when they are actually being worn but when removed the symptoms return. I would like to talk to you again about further options please.
Getting an appointment
Good morning,
I have been diagnosed with CTS by my local GP and wearing the splint at night has not worked and my symptoms are getting worse. she told me to fill out the questionnaire on this site, which I have, and I can get an appointment for the clinic via this website, is this correct?
Kind regards
Appointment change please
I've been sent an appointment for the 11th of January, unfortunately I can't get time off work for this, I have spoken to a lady on your reception who cancelled the appointment but wasn't able to make me a new one. Can I please have an appointment in the afternoon as I finish work by 2 every day.
Thank you

Morning
Sorry to have to contact you, since my las injection in October, this took a little longer to settle down but were pretty good. Since Friday my wrist has locked and very very painful to touch but no real swelling or heat from it. Any advice please would be greatful.

Advice
Hi Dr Bland, I have trailed the splints on both hands at night for two weeks as agreed. During the trial neither of my hands went to sleep. Having a nap during the afternoon without the splints resulted in waking up with my hands having gone to sleep. Having trailed the splints for two weeks as agreed, what is the next step. N A
Update on Treatment
After wearing splints on both wrist at night for three weeks, I can report that there is a slight improvement at night, but no change during the day. But I shall carry on and hopefully as time goes on there will be more of an improvement.
