Hi! It’s been 3 years since I had my Trapeziectomy and I’ve developed a lump on the side of my scar. I noticed it a month ago and it’s grown to about the size of a pea.

Hi. I’ve been taking methotrexate since November 2020 when I was diagnosed with RA. I swapped to metoject nearly 2 years ago as the tablets were making me feel sick.

Is there anyone out there that followed along a baseline method devised by the NHS Pain Management Course that suggests you cut down more than half of the exercises you normally do? The reason for asking is that it has made me a lot worse as I have lost so much more strength that I have never been able to recuperate it and…
Hi all, I am 3 months post surgery on my right thumb. Everything went well and I can use my hand fine. My strength is coming back and the pain is lessening every day. The only thing weird is when I stopped using my removeable brace, I developed a dime sized lump on my incision right where my thumb meets the wrist. It will…
