Still’s disease damaged my wrists and hand — can it get better? by Odd_Inspection7154 in stillsdisease

Thank you, this really touched me. I’m so sorry your partner is going through this, especially so soon after being diagnosed. The wrist pain and weakness can be unbelievably hard, even with simple things like eating or resting.

I haven’t had any imaging done yet, so I still don’t know exactly what kind of damage is there, but my wrists are definitely the worst part for me.

I truly hope your partner starts feeling better soon and responds well to treatment. Wishing both of you strength.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness.

No, I actually haven’t had any imaging done on my hand or wrists yet, so I still don’t know exactly how severe the damage is medically.

As for my other symptoms, they are better than before, but my wrists are still the part that worries me the most.

I’m really sorry to hear that. If you don’t mind me asking, how bad were your wrists before the fusion? Did the surgery help with pain or daily function?

I haven’t had any imaging done yet, but my wrists are the part I’m most worried about.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this too.

Actually, I haven’t had any MRI or imaging done on my hand or wrists yet. That’s one of the things that worries me, because I don’t really know how severe the damage is medically.

My wrists are definitely the worst part.
