Dear Dr.Bland,here is a progress report,firstly i did have benefit from the injections,and now only have very slight numbness in the pad of my middle finger of my left hand. I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritus,and am now receiving treatment,from which i am benefiting,and i have noticed an improvement. Many Thanks Carol Andrews
Thankyou for the update. I think that response tends to confirm that the CTS was contributing some of the symptoms. One can speculate as to whether swelling related to the rheumatoid arthritis might have been a contributory factor to the development of the CTS and it will be interesting to see what happens as treatment for that takes effect. Please let me know if and when there is any sign of the CTS symptoms deteriorating. It would also be useful if you could repeat the symptom questionnaire on here in the next few days so that we have a measure of the subjective change in symptoms. JB
