last update after 4th treatment
Good morning
i thought i would let you know how things was going, i had anoth injection in my left hand about 3 wks ago now, i know you asked me to update after 6 but the symptoms are back AGAIN.
in both hands this time too. not sure what the next stage will be, as you did advise that i shouldnt really have any more injections>
Thanks for your reply, to be honest they are both the same at the moment! waking me up etc and numbness! i will do another test for you and will look forward to hearing from you as to what we can do next. regards Kelly
You have to go to the 'My CTS' page, then to My CTS record... and finally click the option there that says 'Take a new severity score test' - this just does the final part of the questionnaire, working on the assumption that things like your age, sex, weight, occupation and all the rest have not changed.

Hi i found the test and have done a new one for you! and no think all still the same :-)
I think I should see you once more, check the nerve conduction studies and ultrasound, have a face to face discussion about the pros and cons of surgery, and then potentially book you a slot for operation. The only gap in the schedule I can find to do this however, as the diary stands at present, would be at the end of an extra clinic I am doing on the afternoon of Tuesday 5th February - about 5:00 pm. What do you think? JB
Hi, thanks for your reply, yes this sounds like a good idea, i will arrange to finish work earlie that day and come down and see you then, thans again Kelly
That last injection was 29th November so this is exactly 6 weeks in fact. I think we have now injected both sides twice. That's not an absolute bar to further injection but it is beginning to look as though surgery might be a better bet, especially if it is relapsing this quickly - which side feels worse at present? It would be worth adding a new severity questionnaire to the record on here and I will then have a think about how to proceed - there is not likely to be a surgery space until at least March. JB
