Physiotherapy 3 (bilateral CTS)

Third appointment with physiotherapist was this afternoon. She was concerned there's not been any real improvement so mentioned orthopaedics. I have an appointment with the ortho clinic next Monday. She pulled up my records to see who I was seeing and it's actually her boss who is a hand specialist. Excellent! She tried to call him but he wasn't available but is going to let him know that I've been seeing her and what she's tried. She thinks from this ortho clinic I'll be offered steroid injections or surgery. 

I want to read more about it but she said a lot of the time people have the injections but they don't work and need surgery anyway. 

I'm trying to keep an open mind and just see what happens on Monday. 

Today she done more of the ultrasound therapy. I also had acupuncture in both hands this time. 

I was speaking to her about work and she doesn't agree with working through pain. Today I had a burning feeling when I was trying to use the keyboard. She said if it gets to the point it's unbearable then I shouldn't continue. 

I have so much more I want to type but even on the iPad I'm struggling.

  1. Hey

    If you want me to go to appointment with you let me know or if you want mum to go with you I can watch Bug. Heads up either way lol :)

    Its not good the physio isnt going too well :(
    Defo read up on the injections before appt.

    I think working is going to make everything worse physically you will do more damage to hands being in so much pain and your stressed about going to work with pain. Its not good! I think you need to go baxk on sick until your hands are better. I know your worried about it all but work need to understand its ur hands and work is making them worse. X x
