    Hello Tracey, Sorry to hear about your wrist. Have you had the Doc check it out? It could be that you've twisted it or something without remembering or maybe something else. I get wrist pain from my carpel tunnel syndrome. Sorry, I don't know about the operation you've had, but it could be some scaring or nerve involvment from that? Don''t let it carry on too long. Take care, love Sue

    Hi Tracey,

    My wrists fused theirselves many years ago and they can still ache when I've overdone things with my hands and my arthritis is having a bad day, even though I have no movement in them at all. If the aches get too bad I just take paracetemol till they settle down again.

    As Sue says you could always get your GP to take a look if you're worried.

    Hi tracey, my wrists fused together by themselves also about 2 years ago, i'm having awful trouble with mine just now,esp my right one, just had an injection into mine to try to stop the swelling, its got so bad that i can't put a school shirt on my daughter as can't do up the buttons, she's been going to school with a polo shirt on for the last week or so. Normally the injection works so maybe you could get that. I'd get it checked out to make sure everything is ok. Good luck vicky x

    Hi Tracey, I have to decide if I am to have my left wrist fused or not should have had an appointment next week but canceled it 3 weeks ago because I cant make a decision yet. I have been waiting on a diagnosie on my back/knees/ankles which I got yesterday. I have spondyloarthritis. I wondered if I have my wrist fused how will this affect me if I need sticks or crutches?

    As for the pain in your wrist you may be able to speak to your consultants secretary they are usually very helpful and will probably leave a message for him with your concerns. Good luck
    Mandy
