Denervation of wrist

LucyvB

Hello

I have Osteoarthritis in both Knees, hands, wrists and neck.

I have had many surgeries, mostly unsuccessful. I had wrist denervation 5 weeks ago , it is my third wrist op, and I am really struggling. I cannot seem to find any info online about it and other peoples experiences, recovery times etc.

Has anyone else had this operation? It doesn't seem to be very common. I would really appreciate any input.

Thank you so much.

I understand that you have Osteoarthritis in your knees, hands, wrists and neck and that you have just had a denervation of the wrist. I hope that others on this community will share their experiences of this. In the meantime I found this on the NHS website which might be of interest.

Our website contains a lot of useful information regarding OA and has a really useful search function which I would suggest you have a look at. To help I've put a couple of links in below
