Guest guest Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hey - Quick question for you. My right wrist and hand have been hurting worse and worse. Didnt feel like a regualr flare because its was only that part of me. My Doc said if it got to the point where I was upping my prednisone froom 10 mg per day to 20 to call him. He set up an MRI and we just got the results. He is refering me to a wrist surgeon and I am confused. The MRI findings are - 1-Degenerative tear of the central TFC 2-Distal radioulnar joint effusion 3-Multifocal joint DJD of the wrist, centered at the scaphotrapezium joint, distal intercarpal row and carpometacarpal joints 2 through 4. 4-Carpal synovitis, likely secondary to adjacent joint DJD. Is this all caused by my RA? And I thought since I am on Biologics- it was supposed to prevent my RA from getting worse and just keep it at the same level it is now. I am currently on Rituxan and have been on Embrel, Remicade, and Orencia beofre. I was dx'd with RA 4 years ago. I know you arent a doc- but I am totally confused. Can you help clear some of this up for me? Thanks- Jill in Nashville TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
