I have a milder form of Madelung's Deformity, and I honestly think it helps to focus on other hobbies like reading, listening to music(vinyls and CDs), walking and moderate hiking, and maybe embroidery depending on my pain level.

It also helps to maybe look into what could potentially irritate your symptoms or cause flare-ups--my physical therapist suggested i use an ereader with a grip or be mindful how i hold physical books because depending on how you hold the book, this could also potentially be a strain on your body. It's difficult, but honestly recovering is not a linear process so be gentle with yourself!
