Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:30:25 +0000 #comment-7110 Hey.... I am 16 years old and I have arthritis in my knees, ankles,toes, hips, and now lower back. Unfortunatly, there is no permanent cure for arthritis, however surgeries are said to provide long time reflief (although I dont know if there is surgery for wrists). Anyways, just make sure your friend sees a doctor frequently-- the medicines (anti-inflammatory especially, although they might need to move to stronger drugs if necessary) can really ease the pain. Good for you for wanting to get more informed about your friends situaiton. I wish your friend the best of luck! Hey….

She can help the soreness and inability of the joints to move by wearing an ACE wrist bandage and possibly getting cortisone shots. She may want to start some sort of physical therapy as well, maybe buy a small plush ball that she can squeeze a few times a day just to keep her wrist from hardening up. I have some friends who have had some sort of surgery on the muscles surrounding whatever joint is inflamed that is supposed to loosen them up - like a snipping of some sort - but they all said it did no good.
