Splints
31 January 2013 - 8:39pm
After having a consultation with you last Tuesday, I have been using the splints at night over the past 9 days and only once have I had numbness in the hand. Before using the splints I was getting this every night.
I have a steroid injection booked, in your opinion do you feel I need this at the moment?
Regards

if you are getting symptoms back as soon as you leave the splint off then I would be inclined to get on and inject it I think, but if you want to defer it a it that is not a problem from our point of view. JB
Ultimately it's up to you whether to proceed with injection but myself I would cancel it if the symptoms resolved entirely with splinting and I was able to go through a few nights without the splint without the problem coming back. How long do we have before the injection appointment? JB
