Waiting

I seen my GP over 6 weeks ago. Now I did wait about 8 weeks before I went to see her , so it's kinda my fault in a way

My hand has been getting numb but me being daft thought it would go away ,,well I did go and see the doc,she said I would need to see a hand surgeon as need a wee op on it . Im still waiting for an appiontement for the surgeon. My hand is now numb to just over the wrist and just to add to the hell my other hand is now getting numb too . I wish I could win the lottery, just so I can go BUPA and get the feeling back . So if I dissapear over the next few weeks it's becasue it cant B*****y type

sorry to hear this .i had a numb hand problem a few months ago it turned out to be a trapped nerve in my shoulder ....12 weeks phsio soon got it back to normal

yes i agree with you it is a bad system sometimes if you want to see a specialist or need an op but if it is urgent cant you get another GP

Hi Susan, sorry to hear about this, hope you get it sorted soon (blasted NHS are a waste of space). Are you a typist or do you touch type? I wonder whether this could be why it's happening.

No I dont type much,,,well only here and another site I like LOL. I have had arthritis in my wrist for around 20yrs,,Im kinda falling to bits lol.

Hope you get seen soon,and the problem sorted.

Is the op for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? If it is I know a couple of people who've had it done and my mum is waiting for the same op

The GP said I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,,,I think I will be waiting for months

Hi,
My MIL had this op done of both her hands. They were done 8 weeks apart as an out patient.
She had to wait a couple of months to get it done but the results are amazing!! She now has full feeling in both her hands & she also had alot of stiffness in her wrists which has gone
