Just seen this and would urge you to drive your doctor to arrange specialist treatment as quickly as you can. If it is rheumatoid arthritis, there is a 'golden period' in the early stages within which quick intervention with drugs can dramatically slow and even halt the disease in its tracks...

Carpal Tunnel syndrome is sometimes an early indicator of rheumatoid arthritis. I trust your surgeon got you to have an RA blood test before he cut your wrist?. Having said that, the blood test is hideously unreliable - gives a hefty percentage of false negatives. Best wishes for a swift recovery.

A chap near to me here in West Berkshire rents pockets of ground around the locale on which he keeps sheep, pigs and Devon Ruby cattle. Visiting his flock early one morning last year he found a ewe had died in the night, so put the body in the back of his Toyota pick up. He admits he was...
