hello i came to see you on 18 august. regarding my right hand / arm, you sugested the splint for my hands.
have used it on my right hand which is worse but has not improved. in fact it is worse all the way up my arm & now going to my neck & giving me quite a bit of pain & is constant. is not working at night either just wondered what the next step is you suggested the injection. i will wait to hear from you many thanks.
The obvious next thing to try would be local steroid injection. Give me a few minutes in the morrning to update your records in the main system when I get in to my office and you will then be able to call the SIPC office to arrange for an injection - their number is in the contacts page here. They will find someone reasonably local to you who knows how to do the injection and the same person will see you again about 6 weeks later and send me a report on progress - though you can always let me know how it is going on here anyway.
