Prior to my diagnosis, my right wrist was so swollen, painful and disfigured that I was sent to a hand surgeon in Boston. Within a week I had "exploratory" surgery, which turned out to be a total wrist fusion (titanium plate in wrist that's holding my hand and wrist together). The cartilage in my wrist had been totally destroyed in the 3 months during which I had been in pain. After a 2nd surgery and many months of occupational therapy my hand is now operational.
