Since having ds a year ago I have had problems with my wrists and was wondering if anyone else has experience of this. Sorry this is long but Im worrying about it and hoping someone else will have some experience.
I carry him under my left arm and first that one went, but now the right one is going too.
By going I mean the joint is painful when it is moved and swollen, also weak. It also feels like something is rubbing in the joint.
I went to see the dr a few months ago with the left one and she very helpfully said youve got arthritis and packed me off with a prescription for ibuprofen. I wasnt very happy with that since I am only 32 and my wrists are so sore and Im really restricted with what I do - is this it for the rest of my life?!! Shes not a very approachable dr so yesterday I went to see a different one since the other wrist is now bad. He is doing a blood test for rheumatoid arthritis (which he said could be brought on by hormones of having ds) and sending me for an x-ray for osteoarthritis.
I have been looking up both these on internet and pretty gutted by what I read as cant see how this is going to improve, plus RA sounds really bad.
Any thoughts anyone?
