Approximately 2 years ago I began to experience discomfort in the thumb, index and second fingers on both hands. This was best described in layman terms as “pins and needles” which over time developed into mildly painful. A visit to my local surgery confirmed that the medical name for my problem was known as “Carpel Tunnel Syndrome”. Arrangements were made for me to attend a clinic at Hill Top Heights, Carlisle for a carpel Tunnel decompression procedure on my right hand as this was the most affected by the problem. Doctor White and his friendly team explained the procedure, completed the work under local anaesthetic and I left within 15 minutes. After 24 hours of very mild discomfort recovery continued without problem. About 15 months later I contacted Cumbria Medical Services directly as the symptoms in my left hand had become more apparent. I was offered an appointment the same day within 4 weeks and attended Maryport hospital on 10th December 2021 for the same decompression procedure on my left hand. Doctor White and his team again carried out the work with such friendly efficiency I really enjoyed the experience and would like to express my gratitude. Best wishes….. Mike Robinson
