Update re injection on 16th October
Initially the injection reduced my symptoms, tho I still had some numbness in ring finger and little finger. However numbness is now returning to my other fingers. While the numbness isn't as painful as before it's beginning to affect what i can and can't do again - especially small/ fine motor skills and strength. This is having an impact on my working life. Please is there anything i can do? I have been told the problem with my ring and little fingers could be due to something else, possibley elbow? Who would i see to sort this out too please?
That would be brilliant but unfortunately I'm isolating at the moment as my husband is having a heart op on the 30th. Do you have anything else available please?
Tell me roughly when you are going to be free and we should be able to fit in. J
I've scheduled a slot on Monday 21st Dec and put a letter in the post. I'm on leave the preceding week and I think we should see you on a day when I'm there. JB
The other two fingers could well be the elbow. I think we should test you again, partly to see if the median nerve in the carpal tunnel has improved and partly to check the elbow and see if there is clear evidence of a problem there. I can do this tomorrow afternoon if you are free (Monday) JB
