Hi Patty.

     I hope your sugery will be a complete success for you.  Glad the

Orthopedic doctor found out what it was, and took it out and did some repair

work too.

    I am also happy it was not your RA doing damage.

We will be waiting to hear how your surgery has healed. Rest when you can.

 

Hugs,

I don' post very often, but I just had wrist surgery this AM.. I've had a

very swollen right wrist for approx. 2 yrs, which my rheumy thought was from

the RA. Last appt. I asked if she could inject it, and she preferred that I

went to an orthopedic dr. Well, he took one look, and said, " I don't think

that's from your RA. " After an mri, he was right! So today I had a

" monster " cyst removed (in his words J), and he trimmed a tendon that was

torn and dislocated. I don't have pain..yet..it'll probably hit me in the

middle of the night. I'll keep you posted. So far the worst part is doing

everything with my left hand!
