I need to get a grip

Hi all

I have got RA in most of my joints. Particularly my knees, feet, hands, shoulders.

I have been on Methotrexate for 3 months now and on my target dose for the past 6 weeks so symptoms have eased a lot. I can walk every day which makes a huge difference. I had a depot injection of Prednisolone when I could barely walk 3 months ago. In 3 days I was walking a couple hundred yards (slowly).

Though things seem to be gradually improving though i cannot make a fist, or (get a grip). This does not appear to be improving and is very frustrating. I will see what the consultant has to say in November.

If anyone has had similar loss of grip experience I would appreciate timescale involved in returning to normal. I need to get a grip.

Stay safe.

Thanks
