Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I would like to remind everyone to have x rays done often. I have been having wrists problems for a few months and when x rayed yesterday, found it to be literally destroyed. I am looking at having to have it fused which is really upsetting me. Now my feet and wrists are in this shape (I had my first foot surgery several months ago to straighten out some damage). I have been on the AP for five years and damage has marched on. When I was on Plaquenil befor the AP( which I know has side effects) I had no damage. This has all occurred while on the antibiotics. I always thought that damage could not occur while on the AP, but was so wrong. On the outside you don't see it.. two ortho surgeons have been shocked when they saw my Xrays as I look almost perfect, but the inside is an entirely different story. Have any of you had a wrist fusion? If so please fill me in on some details about loss of function, movement, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
