Returning symptoms
Hi My symptoms have gradually returned over the last few days, both my hands are dead when waking, although I haven’t used the splints at night yet. I have today completed a new self diagnosis questionnaire.
The last time I had an injection on my right wrist was March and my left was sometime before that.
Would I be able to have an appointment for more injections on both hands if this is possible as previous injections have left me symptom free with no side effects.
I am at present away, back in Kent on 29 th Dec, would I be able to come in on 30th Dec or sometime soon after? Assuming I can have more injections.
Thanks
Many thanks, do you have any appointments for injections next week ? I am available anytime Weds or thurs ?? That's 21st or 22nd ?
We're a bit stressed for injections at present as the lady who does most of them has been away for 2 weeks and is now off sick, probably for all of this week - so I'm not sure what we will have available next week until I hear how she is recovering. Check back with me later, probably on Friday sometime, and we'll see what the possibilities are. JB
Good afternoon Dr Bland, any Appointments next week for injections at all??
Still not sure. There is space for a few provided that we have staff but I haven't heard for sure whether Emma will be back so I'm reluctant to promise anything. Give us a call or enquire on here on Monday and we'll see. Sorry! JB
It's certainly possible to inject again. The right hand had its second injection 9th March this year and the left has only been injected once so far as I can see, 12th July 2016. The rules I generally try to keep to on injections are: not more than an average of once every 6 months and no major deterioration in the nerve conduction studies - which is why I keep repeating them. One of the long term questions to be answered is whether it's really necessary to repeat the tests but if I don't do them for now I'll never be able to figure out the answer to that.
30th December is a Saturday (unless you meant November?) If you want to come in first thing in the new year we will undoubtedly be able to do that but it would be best to contact us mid December to book that as, at present I'm only booking ahead about 2 weeks (11th Dec at present). JB
