Dear Dr Bland,

I tried and I am unable to make the appointment for 22nd Oct Thursday this week. I am off work for three weeks 1-20 November. Is it by any chance possible for you to see me then?
I would be very grateful, thanks.

Follow up appointment

Hello Mr Bland
I saw you on 1st September and wonder if I should have heard about a follow up appointment by now.

A Semple

No improvement in right hand

Since end of July I have been wearing the brown tendon/ligament stretchers on both hands religiously each night.
My left hand (Grade 1 cts) has improved somewhat.
However my right hand (Grade 2 cts) which is my main use hand, has not. I am still experiencing numbness and tingling when I hold phone or book. In addition I have found on several occasions, when I wake up, that my right hand fingers are actually numb!

Therefore I am asking please to have a steroid injection in my right hand by Dr Warrilow at the Charing practice where I am a patient.

Return carpal tunnel syndrome

Dear Dr Bland, I came to see you, I think it was November 2013, I had injections in both wrists and I was fine until a few months ago, when I started to get symptoms again in both wrists I went to the doctor for pain relief and he diagnosed my right wrist as tendonitis, but I'm still getting pins and needles and numbness in both wrists as well as sharp pain in my right. Is it possible to make an appointment to be re tested please.
Kind regards Tina Horrocks

Symptoms have go much worse

Hi,

I had an injection last year and my carpal tunnel has been very good since then. In the last 3 weeks I have been in pain with my right wrist and the side of my thumb and the tops of my 3 fingers are constantly numb. Can I come and get re-tested as soon as possible to agree a way forward?

Thank you

Susan

Dear Dr. Bland - Please accept my sincere apologies for not acknowledging your reply to me of 8th July 2015 in respect of my update. I much appreciate your suggestion that should I continue with problems with my hands, I could consider a local steroid injection. However, my symptoms have not worsened, in fact are slightly better than when I was last in contact and therefore I have decided I would like to continue to perservere with wearing the splints. Thank you for your help.
