Self Referral info please
18 October 2021 - 10:22am
Hello,
My surgery’s physio confirmed CTS, and it is in my family. I’m in extreme pain and being right handed really struggling. My GP sent me this link for self referral as splint, exercise and pain relief not helping but I can’t see any route to surgery. Please cam someone advise where I should be heading?
Many thanks!
The patient information page of the site explains how my clinic works. We are not a surgery booking service and we do not accept physiotherapists diagnoses of CTS without testing you first to be sure that that is really the right diagnosis and that surgery is the most appropriate treatment - it's not always the right thing to do. In fact looking at your symptoms there is aout a 50/50 chance that this is actually CTS so the first thing we need to do is get you tested. If you email me your full details I'll arrange an appointment - again see the patient information page for more detailed instructions. JB
