Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Okay y'all, this has become a problem for me. Anybody else gone through this and did the rheumy say it was PA/PS related? Tis the middle finger of the right hand and thank God it isn't pointed straight out LOL! Guess it's off to the orthopedic for this one. Already had the carpal tunnel surgery in the same arm about 2 years ago. Just thought this was related to that since I still have swelling and lumps at the wrist even after surgery when I'm having a " flare. " Okay so on to other things. Third week of Enbrel and feeling like I almost have my life back. I'm back to arts and crafts, doing things at work that I haven't been able to do in months, not screaming at my hubby " when is it time for my next pain pill? " , and actually getting out of bed in the mornings without him bringing it to me with my coffee. That is a step forward people and I'm elated!!!!! I know you've all been there but I was at the " give it up stage only three weeks ago and now I'm back at life with avengence! Am glad to share at least some good news. And welcome back Gordon! Tis a pleasure to hear from you again and wishing you the best! Peace Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hello : I didn't know who you were responding to, just got back into the Email group after a few months hiatus, the type of doctors is an Orthopedist who specializes in hands and/or a Plastic Surgeon who works on hands.
