Advice please

Good evening,

Injection appointment

Dear Dr Bland,

Following my recent CP check up, scan and chat with practitioner Emma, was wondering if it was possible at all to be sent an appointment for steroid injections in both wrists, seeing as this has helped my nightly numbness in the hands and pain on repetitive movement before.

Many thanks, once again.

Need an appoinment

Hi, I was tested and found to have mild CTS. I have been wearing splints at night and it did help but now even with the splints I am waking up in pain. Last night was unbearable, if somebody had offered me a saw I would of chopped my hands off there and then! Could I please have an appointment so I could try something else? Many thanks, Joanne

Follow up of steriod injection on 19.10.2015

Big thankyou, after injection number 3 in my right wrist, things took about 3 weeks to settle and feel real benifit, but can honestly say that now it is at treat to go to bed knowing I will get a good nights sleep and only wake once or twice throughout night with very slight pins and needles, without wearing hand braces on both hands. As before I wish I could get the same injection in my neck.
But thankyou and your marvellous team for all your help.

Kind regards
Bill Burns

Pain back in left hand

Hi Dr Bland,

I had surgery on my right hand just over a year ago now and all has been well. The left hand seemed to improve too.
However, over the past couple of months, pain and numbness have returned to my left hand and I am starting to wake again at night.

Would you advise for me to come back to see you?

Many thanks
Lisa

Pain has returned

Numb fingertips

Morning, I saw you a few months ago when I had my hand injected. It worked for a while, and I used a split. I now find that I wake up with tingling and numbness in that hand, the right, and have numbness in my finger tips, both hands. It makes it difficult to pick up small objects etc. I use a scalpel in my work, so a m obviously concerned. Could it be something other than the C T S? Do I need to see you, or should I go to my G.P. ? I know my nerve conduction test was borderline last time, which is one of the reasons I am wondering if it maybe something else.
Thank you for your time,

CT Pain is back

Dear Dr Bland

Last time I saw you was in July this year and we discussed the Injections. I would like to have the injections done please as the pain in my wrists is getting worse during the day aswel now.

Please point me to right direction on how to proceed further?

Waiting for your reply.

Thank you
Warm Regards

Completed new CTS Survey

Hello Dr Bland,
12 months after the 4th injection I can happily report that the tingling has NOT yet returned. My history indicates the remission usually lasts for about 18 months, but all is well at present.
I have just completed another survey test as requested by email.
Thank you again.

carpal tunnel pain back

I had injection for carpal tunnel which worked very well, it was quite a while ago maybe 6 months or more, I will have to check,
but much to my disappointment its come back, waking me at night with pins and needles and in day a little as well, I have started wearing wrist braces again, but wonder if I should come back for more injections, please advise.
Thanks Carol
