Appointment
I attended the clinic last year and was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both hands (right worse than left) to which I was administered a steroid injection, due to covid all operations were cancelled.
Since then I have not heard what is happening.
Please could you advise. Have had trouble trying to access forum.
Hi doctor bland.
Sorry had trouble accessing forum had to do new log in.
After the steroid injection hands were fine for a couple of months.
But for the last few months severe pain in right hand,and shooting pain through palm, left hand not so bad.
I find it difficult to form a fist it's quite painful, and after I have constantly used hands (gardening,peeling veg etc)
The pain in so bad.
Please advise.
Thankyou
Mrs r raynsford
We had better test it again and see what we're dealing with I think. I'll send out a new appointment. I've found one on 14th June - letter in post. JB
Dear dr bland.
Just thought I would give you an update.
Since I had the injection to my right hand on the 14-06-21 everything has been fine, it even helped with the arthritis.
Although not to bad now I am just starting to get tingling back in both hands, and some pain (but bearable)
Thankyou
Mrs r raynsford.
Thanks for the update. Would you be able to add a new severity score here on the website for please so I can see how the current symptoms compare with previously. Juct click "Add a new severity score" on the home page while logged in. JB
We thought it was probably a mixture of CTS and some form of arthritis. I never got a follow-up report from you telling me how well the steroid injection worked - what was the response like? JB
