Carpal tunnel

Dear Dr Bland, I had a steroid injection in my right hand on Tue. 29th August, which gave me some relief. I can now open the hand, but the fingers are still numb and I cannot grip things or write without difficulty. You did say I would probably need surgery, so I think I need to go ahead with this as soon as possible please. k Many thanks. Gillian Hanlon
