Hi
Thought I had replied too thank you and your team, second visit on around 14th December, second injection given and would say pins and needles at night 80% better. Thank you and Happy new year.

Hi Dr Bland
Sorry for contacting you again, its been a year since my last injection, up until 3 weeks ago my right wrist has be great, but pain has come back with vengance and am forced to wear my wrist brace almost 24/7, is there anything you can do to help me please.

No problem, that's what we are here for. I'll organise a review appointment as soon as I can. Letter should go in the post tomorrow. JB
Hi Emma
Thankyou to Dr Bland, yourself and the team for seeing me so prompt on 2 November 2016, for my 4th injection, I am already feeling a considerable relief from injection, although still wearing wrist brace at moment at night as a precaution.
Will keep you informed of progress but feeling positive at moment.
Thankyou and kind regards
Bill Burns
Yes, thank you for the update. Please do keep us updated over the next month or so. EK
Hi Dr Bland and Emma
Now into my 4mth since last injection and all is great with hardly noticing any problems at all.
Just weak on strength.
Thankyou again
Kind regards

Very good - though I do wonder about the weakness - is that loss of power grip (as you would use to grip a horizontal bar and do pull ups) or the ability to do more deicate tasks like hold a key firmly to turn a stiff lock? it will be interesting to see how long it lasts this time. JB
Update as of today.
Many thanks for reminder, All is still good after injection last November and still not being woken during night with pain. Occasionally wear brace but only as a support. The weakness I think is from nerves in neck. Wish the injection in wrist could go in neck.
Thankyou to you are your staff for my pain months in wrist.
King Regards
Bill Burns
Thanks for the update. Just contact us directly if and when it starts to get worse again. JB
It can certainly be re-injected, though it may have been better to do it a bit earlier. As we haven't seen you for some time I'll send out an appointment. I'll also move this to the Canterbury patients forum in a day or two. JB
