arthritis
2 Answers
6 months ago i had an operation in both of my hands for carpul tunnel, (which hasn't been a success) and in january this year x-rays to my thumbs and wrists have showed that i have severe osteoarthritis in both of my hands, i have been told about an operation that can be done but i am very reluctant to have this as the previous one hasn't worked, i am in constant pain and have been prescribed tramadol for this, but i wondered if there is anyone out there undergoing a similar situation, any advice would be appreciated,

It seemed at first to be alright, then I started getting pains in my hands. I have just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, I am now on Methotexate and Folic acid. I still have pain in my hands and am very stiff in my arms and hands in the morning.
