help its got worse!!!
Hi i wounder if you can help i come in for a test on CTS in august and you adviced i had mild cond, grade 1 but it has got worse now in both hands and the pain is terrible at night and keeping me up! what can i do can i come back in for a test as the wrist support is not helping any more
hi thanks for reply i cannot do thursday unless its before 8? do you have any evening appointments, i shall fill out another questionar for you! it seems to have gotr a lot worse in both hands now how do go about arranging a appointment unable to get through on number
I am responding on behalf of Dr Bland as the Neurophysiology Co-Ordinator. The direct line to the office is 01227 864 047 but there is currently an available appointment on the 1st of March. If you let me know either through the forum or by calling our number, I can book that for you.
I don't do evenings at present I'm afraid, though we have done them in the past - it rather depends what the NHS management are prepared to pay the staff for. Melynda should be able to find some kind of appointment for you if you give her a call - see the message from msillett. JB
hello thank you for the responce i called yesterday and they going to send me appointment was hoping for something a bit sooner if possible.
I see that you have managed to create two identities on the site - as both "bennett" and "KELLY" - we will somehow have to merge these together or my records will become confused - which version would you like to keep? JB
The best way to fit you in before 1st March would be at the end of the Thursday afternoon list on 16th Feb (16:30) - if you could make that? JB
im sure i could make it would need to check with work first but sont see it being a problem! will let you now tomorrow if ok
OK booked in at 16:30 - I've put a letter in the post but I doubt if it will reach you so just turn up anyway.JB
hi thanks for the app yesterday, i called the office to make appointment but nearist is the Wye and they adviced that i cannot drive after, i havent got any one who be able to take me back to there! is there any chance i can book for the hospital on the Thursday morning! spoke to work its fine! cheers kelly
Sure we'll fit you in this coming Thursday - should be possible from about 9:10am onwards, just turn up and say you have come for a carpal tunnel injection. Still not a good idea to plan on driving immediately afterwards though - most times it will be OK but occasionally there is some pain after injection and you might not feel like holding a steering wheel. JB
oh that's brilliant thank you. ok no prob I see what can do about a lift. Is itok to go work after injection?
Usually you will be OK to go back to work within an hour or two, though I would not recomend 8 hours of intensive bricklaying just after injection. Occasionally however there may be enough discomfort after injection to stop you working for the rest of the day. JB
lol oh ok thank you, as i work in the office and do a lot of typing maybe a good idea to have the day off and rest i think.
I can test it on Thursday morning if you can make that as we seem to have a cancellation there. If you can make that then let me know on here and I will book you in. I have added your Canterbury reference number to your profile on the website. It would be useful if you could complete a new questionnaire online here too. If you have done it before it will only repeat the last section. JB
