Prepare for the consultation

A little information can make the appointment more useful.

You do not need every item below. Bring what is available and relevant.

When it began, what makes it worse and whether strength or sleep has changed.

02

Previous tests

X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, nerve studies or reports from another clinician.

03

Treatment tried

Splints, therapy, injections, medication or previous surgery.

04

Your priorities

Work, sport, driving and what you most need the hand to do again.

Urgent or emergency symptoms?

Severe injury, uncontrolled bleeding, a cold or pale hand, rapidly increasing swelling, or sudden major loss of movement or feeling needs urgent medical assessment, not an online enquiry. Go to your nearest Emergency Department or call 999. For urgent advice, call NHS 111.
