Symptoms started
Hi Dr Bland, the last time I came for a steroid injection the man who did them, sorry I can't remember his name, said not to leave it til it's bad to come and see you again. Can I have an appointment please? I will fill out a severity questionnaire, but it probably won't look as bad as before. Many thanks, Joanne
I've put you in at 8:00 am on Wednesday 20th October as you are not far away - hope that's OK. JB
Hi Mr Bland, I was wondering if I could get booked in to have my right hand done? I had my surgery on the left nearly 3 weeks ago and it seems to be ok so would like to proceed with surgery again. It's a real relief. Many thanks, Jo
Hi, I've added you name to the surgical waiting list this morning, shouldn't be a long wait, maybe a few weeks.

Hi Nick, just wanted to double check, I haven't heard anything yet about appointment? I had the pre assessment phone call last month so thought it might be soon. Obviously if there's a long waiting list I totally understand and apologise for being a nuisance ha ha. Many thanks, Jo
Surgery is being disrupted again by COVID and some lists have been cancelled. I'll update the patient information page here when I know more. JB
It looks bad enough for us to see you again at least. I'll make an appointment tomorrow when I'm in the office. One of the questions I would like to answer about serial injection treatment is whether it is better to re-inject earlier or whether one should wait for symptoms to get back to how they were on the previous occasion - we don't know the answer to that one.
