Return of discomfort following surgery.
8 June 2020 - 11:22am
Good afternoon Dr Bland,
I hope you and your team are safe and well. I contacted you about a month ago regarding the discomfort I am experiencing in my right hand following surgery. You said to give it a few weeks and contact you again. So here I am! The discomfort seems to be centred on my middle and ring finger. I am unable to fully straighten these fingers and it is difficult to grasp things with this hand. It appears to be becoming progressively worse.

I've added some comments to your last report and sent copies to you and your GP. JB
Sounds like trouble with the tendons, not uncommon in people with CTS, either before or after surgery. If you would like me to take a look at it and feel it's safe to visitn the hospital I can take a look on Friday morning at 11:00. Should only take 5 minutes but I think it's hard to get any further without seeing and feeling it. JB
