Advice please
Having received an email reminder I have completed a new questionnaire accordingly. Both my hands are getting slowly and steadily worse.
I’m also having trouble with trigger fingers so some of the pain in my hands is caused by this. I had some injections for this in my left hand a couple of years ago and that’s not too bad, but now the right hand is playing up. I am due to have an injection for this in mid June.
I’m not really sure if I should have the nerve conduction tests again or not at this stage so would appreciate some advice please.
Many thanks for your prompt reply. I look forward to receiving the appointment.
Dear Dr Bland
I just wanted to say thank you to both you and Emma for seeing me early on 5 June. Please tell Emma that I had no side effects from the injections this time and there was no bruising at all.
I have to say that the results of the injections have not been as spectacular as usual this time, but it's still early days and I have surgery booked for the left hand in early August.
Thank you again for your prompt replies and for the way this forum works!
It's almost 6 months since we last saw you so ideally we should see you again. It's hard to assess how bad trigger digits are without seeing them and it sounds as though we may be needing to send you to the hand surgeons to try and get both problems dealt with permanently so it's a complex enough problem that it would be better dealt with in person. I'll send out an appointment. JB
