“Mommy Wrist”

My next ✔️Up with my rheumatologist is in August. I just read in the most recent email that this is what my wrist pain is called. Unfortunately I’m currently on anti inflammatory meds & I wrap my wrist @ bedtime & I use ice throughout the day. Nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?

  1. , I know your next appointment with your rheumatologist isn't for quite some time, but could you put a call in to your general practitioner about the issues you are experiencing? Your wrist issues could very well be related to your RA, but they could be caused by something else as well and your GP might be able to offer you more tips and advice for managing the pain. I would definitely check in with him/her, if you haven't already done so. It sounds like you are already doing what you can to manage the issue and it may be time to get a medical professional's opinion. Best, Erin, RheumatoidArthritis.net Team Member.
